Bourgeois' imagery often explores personal memories and emotional experiences. According to the artist, "The spiral is important to me. It is a twist. As a child, after washing tapestries in the river, I would turn and twist and wring them with three others or more to wring the water out. Later I would dream of getting rid of my father's mistress. I would do it in my dreams by wringing her neck. The spiral--I love the spiral--represents control and freedom.
