sculpture in relation to the body

All of the works were interesting. they each brought extention, new use or meaning to the body or a body part. the problem was the information on the sculptures was so brief that I do not feel like I completely understood what some of the works were about. I was very interested in Louise Bourgeoise's, Costume for a Banquet. I understood her story and events in her life but the costume in my eyes did not represent breasts, or eggs, or any falic form as the paragraph said it should. to me at first I thought it was supposed to be a types of food, and then I thought it looked like a large amount of tumors bundled together. Also I would have never known it was for a banquet without reading its title and I wonder why did she choose that color for the costume? I also thought that the work about floating in space was interesting where the artist is hung from hooks that have pierced his skin. I like the idea the there are no boundaries and that the skin can be a new and exciting canvas. when one cuts themselves or peirces their skin on purpose endorphins kick in and I was wondering does this finding have any relation to the artist or his work?
