British artist Tracey Emin began gaining notoriety after joining the
Young British Artist group in the 1990s, creating bold, in-your-face
works such as Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-1995 (1995) and My
Bed (1999). Her works are largely autobiographical; employing a wide
range of media including textiles, film, drawings and neon lights, Emin
is able to publicly express her life, thoughts and credences often
through the lens of dark humor. In describing her work, Emin states 'the
narcissism behind what I do—the self, self, self—and how difficult it
is for me to really share things, even though I think I am sharing all
the time.' Neon light Trust Yourself reads like a personal mantra or a
hard lesson learned formed in her own handwriting. In bringing her
advice to life, Emin is able to pass on this tough lesson to the souls
who need it. Today, Emin's work can be found within a number of
high-profile permanent collections world-wide, including the British
Museum, London, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre
Georges Pompidou, Paris.
