Meaning & Analysis

Emin’s bed has been a motif that has haunted her career since her seminal installation My Bed in 1998. The bed is a subject that Emin has returned to in more subtle ways, but printed works like She Watched reveal her ongoing fascination with the intimate and personal space of the bedroom.

Within this work, Emin pictures a nude reclining figure on a simply rendered bed. Around the bed are three grey forms. While these forms are not distinctly figurative, they appear like ghostly presences and therefore speak to Emin’s spirituality. Emin’s interest in mysticism has led her art to reflect a sense of transcendence, particularly as she has matured. While Emin’s bed of 1998 was a site of personal trauma and isolation, She Watched reveals Emin’s increasing awareness that even when she is alone she is never truly lonely.

  • 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).
