louise bourgeois - insomnia drawings. She writes about this drawing, titled Throbbing Pulse, 1944: "My work has to do with a defense against fervor. People are always in a rush. (...) There is a kind of fervor that is completely meaningless. This drawing is a call for meditation.... I am an insomniac, so for me the state of being asleep is paradise. (...) My drawings are a kind of rocking or stroking and an attempt at finding peace. Peaceful rhythm. Like rocking a baby to sleep."
