Finding Gold
- Tracey Emin, British, 1963-
- Born: Croydon, England
- Work Locations: London, England
Tracey Emin’s art, though often shocking, is rooted in familiar issues: sexuality, mortality, and the search for meaning. Her candid expressions of universal emotions — both awful and wonderful — and her tendency to integrate her personal life into her work encourage a deep, intimate level of engagement with the viewer. The autobiographical super-8 film Finding Gold tells a personal coming-of-age story rich with nostalgia for times past and lost relationships. The “gold” Emin discovers and shares with her viewers is a deep, universal truth about growth and human connections.
