The Missus went to see Bourgeois's exhibition with her mum and I have yet to visit but I really adored the huge spiders she did when the Tate Modern first opened in 2000 and which took pride of place in the massive Turbine Hall for several months.
This is what they looked like:
So as myself and the Missus have spent the weekend chilling out by playing Scrabble and eating Quality Streets I decided to make my own Bourgeois spider out of the foil sweet wrappings. This is what it looks like and I think it's quite good:
I am now working on a bigger version but it means we have to eat at least three family size tins of said sweets. But it is in the name of art.
I may have found a new career...
