"But there is something else in the assemblage, there is the restoration and reparation. Mind you that is what my parents did, they restored and repaired tapestries, so there is a common attitude. To repair a thing, to find something broken, to find a tapestry torn apart with big holes in it and destroyed and step by step rebuild it –– making an assemblage is that. You repair the thing until you remake it completely."
–– Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), French-American artist
