Meaning & Analysis
In My Head is a 2015 etching by Tracey Emin which was released in an edition of 50, and forms part of the Torsos collection. The nude torso, executed in a green-black ink, appears at the centre of a white paper background with a wide-set border. The head of the figure is the primary focus of the print, not only due to the titular reference, but also due to the way in which the artist has removed detail of the face and head by covering it with black ink.
This small work offers a glimpse into the world of Emin, and her abiding use of art to explore her body and emotions. In My Head is testament to her continuous reference to self in her work, documenting the natural changes to her body and the ways in which she views herself.
Tracey Emin, born in 1963, stands as a fearless provocateur in the contemporary art scene. A trailblazer of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late 1980s, the artist has sparked conversation and controversy for decades. Confronting themes of love, trauma and femininity with great vulnerability, Emin's work is a visceral tapestry of her life and has forged an intimate dialogue between artist and audience. In 1999, this raw approach to storytelling won her a nomination to the Turner Prize and, in 2007, it got her a coveted spot as a Royal Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA).
