Tracey Emin @ Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh
28 May 2022 - 2 October 2022
I Lay Here For You offers an intimate encounter with love, loss, grief and longing set against the domestic architecture and informal woodland of Jupiter Artland. Viewed within the context of a home, the work is imbued with connotations of both warmth and vulnerability, resonating with Tracey Emin’s belief of the ‘personal as political’.
The work is a large bronze sculpture of a naked female figure scaled up from a hand-sized clay figurine, pressed and shaped in the artist’s hand, lying in repose within the woodland. The figure rests in the landscape on its own terms, creating a dialogue with Emin’s new paintings, drawings and neon works presented in the gallery.
