Tracy Emin

Known for her autobiographical and confessional work, Tracey Emin takes what is typically a commercial medium, neon signage, and turns it into something more poetic and personal, rendering each phrase in her own sloping, calligraphic handwriting. In the living room, the piece adds a subtle, ambient sense of energy, livening up the space without pulling focus from it, breaking up the stark white and glass, and complementing the natural light without overpowering it. The writing itself disappears into the wall, a small detail that reflects the client's forethought in planning for the piece from the start.
