So, this was cool...
I haven't really founded a proper, continuous opinion of Tracey Emin's work- as I have yet to conclude what it's about. However, I have an amazing soft spot for her neons:
"The Last Great Adventure is You"
There was also one at the exhibition that said:
"The Soul Will Always Do What It Needs To Do"
The majority of the exhibition was comprised of these kind of drawings, and they lined the entrance corridor.
I liked them, a stylised kind of figure drawing.
(I also liked the polished concrete floors the gallery had).
Then we came across some tapestry-style-embroidered pieces...
They made me think about lust, sensation, but at the same time- nothingness.
I think this was really reflected in the bronze casting works that I couldn't take photos of. They had limbs and heads missing, again a kind of emptiness surrounding them, except one figure that was being carried off by a bird. The figure lay on the bird's back, and it looked like they were taking off toward freedom...
I feel kind of sorry for the women lying on the bed sheets, just-
- "Waiting For You"
As one of them was called.
No freedom-flying-birds for them.
With the clocks going back and all, it was dark by the time we'd left, and the gallery was glowing.
-all for you.
