This portfolio of etchings by Tracey Emin is derived from a series of nineteen monoprints made in 1994, collectively titled ‘Illustrations From Memory’. Sixteen works from the series, which depict remembrances of Emin’s childhood in Margate, were exhibited as part of ‘Borrowed Light’ – Emin’s exhibition for the British Pavilion at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Of the drawing process, Emin has said, “Sometimes magic things happen; it’s just something within the process. I don’t like it when the drawings get too neat. It looks like a machine’s done them, so it’s no good, it’s got to be real, you know?”
Typically autobiographical in her approach, Emin’s drawings narrate fragments of memory that explore notions of intimacy, mutuality and a profound sense of embodiment. In Illustrations From Memory 1994, four works are presented together in a small edition of 50 sets.
