Beyond White Cube: Tracey Emin on 'How It Feels' 

Love Tracey. ‘I gave up my friends, faith, and it took me years to believe again’ I m in that space at 61. Nothing makes sense at all until I paint. Not even dancing anymore. Being Stripped to the bare bones of pain has revealed art is saving me one brush stroke at a time. Thankyou Tracey

I feel a lot of courage coming from this work and hearing her talk about it. I also created an artwork, a collage of abortion experiences from people that have had an abortion and external opinions on projections on abortion. And the reactions i get are sometimes so conservative, so full of prejudice that i see why it is still illegal in so many parts of the world to get a safe abortion. And mostly people say that it is so such a difficult topic to talk about. I think this reinforces the taboo around talking about it even more and pushes people into isolation and in silencing themselves rather than speaking straight forward about their individual perspective. I really hope i get to see this piece from Tracey one day somewhere.

A feeling of barrenness.
