Emin is an artist who finds inspiration from her own life and
what she sees around her. The type of work she does ranges from painting,
drawing, video, photography, monoprint, needlework and sculpture. Her work is
very personal and she has been able to channel her emotions and thoughts into
creations.
She has created a series of monoprints, which often portray and
represent events that happened in her past. These frequently include text as
well as the image itself, however sometimes it is just the image or text alone.
Emin’s style in her monoprints is very sketchy and casual as if they are sudden
thoughts or notes that she wanted to write down, this applies especially to her
use of text.
I think that although the style of her monoprints is very
informal, they seem to have quite a bit of thought put into them- even if the
drawing took a short amount of time to do, it still shows the feelings behind
it. Personally, I am not an admirer of her work and therefore do not take much
inspiration from her pieces, however I do think the technique for her
monoprints is helpful to look at.
