Tracey Emin

"People think that this kind of work is everywhere, work with the journey of the mind, their own personal journey, some people are derogatory towards it, saying we are myopic people constantly thinking about ourselves, but we are not, we are constantly trying to resolve problems, and actually not think about ourselves by working through stuff."

My Little Spark


Someone once told me that sparks do not exist, and that I may never find one. This project follows all the little sparks I see in everyday life, that keep me going, creating, living, seeing. See, they do exist.

Inner Knowings




"Heart and the mind working together to make an inner knowing" - David Lynch

Outtake


This image was created for my current series "My Little Spark"
Ive decided not to use this as a final piece, I'm not sure how I feel about it.
The mirror here is acting as a extension of the landscape in the frame.

Primary Subject

These stunning images by Hannah Laylock were creating using mirrors and a subject. The idea behind the project is to question the role of mirrors and how here the mirror is in fact acting as a barrier rather than  a clear visual reflection of ourselves. I find these fascinating and like the way we are allowed to see something that is actually outside of the frame, this references the viewer. Power relations are important here too, I like how Hannah has thought about this and attempts to make us question this relationship.
