This catalogue marks Tracey Emin’s seminal exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey (October – November 2014). Bringing together the painting, neon, sculpture and embroidery on view in the show with hand-written text by the artist, this publication provides a thoughtful record of an impassioned and profound body of work.

Taking its title from her solo exhibition, the works reproduced here affirm the contemplative and reflective tenor of the show. Harmonising a wealth of different mediums, this publication includes Emin’s enduring return to the canvas as a means of reviewing and revising the self. Interspersed are sampled fragments of the artist’s own hand-written texts which shift in form and register, from the notational and aphoristic to the poetic and narrative, reflecting on experiences of pain, solitude, desire and ecstasy.
