Sleep
1967
A sculptural bronze form rendered in warm golden patina rests in a state of quiet repose, evoking the vulnerability and surrender inherent in sleep. Bourgeois transforms the human experience of unconsciousness into a tactile, weighty presence, her signature blend of psychological intensity and sensuous materiality evident in every contour. The wooden base grounds the gilded form, creating a dialogue between the organic and the cast, the natural and the transformed.
