Does the bold sentence below mean "Bourgeois is an example of the artists whose awareness of psychoanalysis is revealed in what they later say about their artworks rather than in their artworks themselves"?


Context:

Bourgeois is a classic case of an artist whose awareness of psychoanalysis comes across in the narratives that she weaves around her work. In relation to her work Cell (You Better Grow Up), 1993, Bourgeois says that ‘[t]he world that is described and realised is the frightening world of a child who doesn’t like being dependent and who suffers from it’. Bourgeois was a reader of both Freud and Klein and, although she was sceptical about psychoanalysis, she nonetheless cast her autobiography using its terminology.

" In the absence of that sort of statement, I default to what is actually on the page, and it does not say that.
