Nothing to Remember. "I've worked my whole life to hold onto my memories. I don't want them to slip away. This is what the work is about, trying to hold onto my memories." Louise Bourgeois, February 11, 2007.

Nothing to Remember is a facsimile of 22 delicately-coloured prints on hand-drawn music paper created between 2004 and 2006 by Louise Bourgeois. This artists' book follows from an earlier publication, Ode à l'Oubli (Ode to Forgetfulness), which Bourgeois made entirely out of fabric, using the linens and clothing remnants from her past. The words and images in Nothing to Remember are tentative and delicate, conveying the significance and fleetingness of memories.
