Sleep
1996
"Sleep" by Tracey Emin is a raw and intimate monoprint on cotton, capturing the vulnerable stillness of a resting figure rendered in her characteristically expressive, gestural lines. The soft texture of the cotton ground enhances the dreamlike, fragile quality of the work, blurring the boundary between the body and the surface it inhabits. True to Emin's confessional practice, the piece transforms a private, unconscious moment into a deeply personal artistic statement.
