Place of origin |
Tracey Emin's work - in various media including embroidery, neon sculptures, stories and films, as well as drawings and prints - constitutes an ongoing project of self-portraiture and autobiography. As well as the high-profile one-off installations such as her own soiled bed, and a Margate beach hut, she has regularly produced monotype prints made directly from her own drawings. Typically these show female figures, often nude, represented by tentative slightly blurred lines, with captions inscribed in an awkward hesitant script. They convey a vivid immediacy coupled with an air of vulnerability and self-doubt.
This print was published by Counter Editions in 2000 in a portfolio of 14 works by contemporary artists.
