"How can a work of art be at once completely an object and not merely an object? Somers shows, thrillingly, how works by Louise Bourgeois evoke the transitional objects that mediate our earliest encounters with the world. Transformative Objects is at once an incisive study of a major artist, a lucid introduction to object relations theory, and a richly immersive experience in its own right." Douglas Mao, Russ Family Professor in the Humanities and Film and Media Program Chair, Johns Hopkins University, USA
