Life in stiches

04Jan10

 

Back in high school, my favourite artist to write about in class, the so called ‘bad girl’ of the British artworld, and in the same league as Damien Hirst was Tracey Emin.

Over the past few days I’ve been re-visiting some of her works. With increased maturity I’ve come to appreciate the confessional artworks even more so, and feel quite inspired. She is such an amazing woman.

Cover of her 2005 book Strangeland

I thought I’d leave you with these applique blankets she’s made over the past years. I love their rawness and their honesty; the gutsy-ness. No pussy-footing around here.
