Tracey Emin

I Just kept going

2010

"I Just Kept Going" is a work by British artist Tracey Emin featuring acrylic paint applied to a circular wooden surface, creating an intimate scale that invites close viewing. The piece exemplifies Emin's characteristic directness and emotional honesty, with the simple declarative phrase serving as both title and content, reflecting her autobiographical approach to art making. The circular format and the artist's gestural application of paint create a meditative quality while maintaining the raw, confessional tone central to Emin's practice.
