Tracey Emin, My bed, 1998

image

MATERIALS: Box frame, mattress, linens, pillows and various objects

What do you know? The artwork shows a busy lifestyle - possibly stressed and a lack of organisation. You can see multiple empty books of alcohol that would imply they have been drinking a lot. Keyword: Absence as shown by the empty bed
What do you think? Inspired by this artwork i thought about what objects would represent me: My guitar, a pack of cigarette,a bottle of liquor and my personal stress relief fidget gift from my grandfather - hand carved mahogany balls with copper details
What next? I will create an interesting composition with these objects. I will try one in doors and one outdoors. I will try overlapping and reordering the objects to find what would work best.

If I were to do this project again: I would look at some different album covers to gain some more inspiration.
