PROCESS
First I studied Emin’s work and research the history behind it. Then I made her bed in exact miniature. From there I took many liberties but kept it in the spirit and atmosphere that Emin originally captured in her piece. I put a few items that relate to a part of my life and a few that don’t. This is a personal piece for me and I loved the process.
 
ARTIST STATEMENT
“I first discovered Tracey Emin’s 1999 work as an Art History major in college and was compelled by her unapologetic look into being a modern woman and putting our ‘gross’ habits on display. It’s a fascinating commentary about feminism in art. I made this piece to emulate Emin’s controversial work because there are not enough ‘dirty’ miniatures; most miniatures reflect perfect and clean rooms.”
