Bourgeois created deeply personal printmaking works that intertwined text and image to explore themes of desire, love, and emotional vulnerability, using etching techniques on fine papers with a similarly confessional and raw sensibility to Emin's polymer gravure work.

Kiki Smith
American · b. 1954

Smith is renowned for her expressive printmaking practice, particularly etching and gravure on fine papers, where she explores intimate themes of the body and emotional experience with a handmade quality that closely mirrors Emin's approach to personal narrative in print.

Jenny Holzer
American · b. 1950

Holzer's practice centers on text based art that communicates raw emotional and confessional statements about love, desire, and human experience, sharing Emin's commitment to using language as the primary vehicle for intimate and charged personal expression.
