I wish I had a better image than the one above. Note the guillotine blade suspended. Anyhow, I recently went to the Guggenheim to check out the Louise Bourgeois retrospective and this stopped me for quite a while. Click the link and navigate around the site to find better images. I don't know where to go with this post so I suppose that's all.

I saw this show a couple of weeks ago. I thought her story was really inspiring...how she made so much of her work at home in a domestic space while raising her kids.
Here at the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, we have a Louise Bourgeois sculpture of our building made out of silver and enclosed in a metal cage with mirrors.
Also saw this and walked away thinking, "father/husband issues much?"
