Tracey Emin – She Lay down Deep Beneath The Sea (2012) – Turner Contemporary

A few hours drive from London, on the Southeastern tip of the British mainland is the small seaside town of Margate.  It was here where Tracey Emin was born and where she spent her difficult early years, so often documented in the works that first made her a major force of the British art world of the mid to late 90’s.  Now, Emin has returned to her hometown, for an exhibition of new works at the newly opened Turner Contemporary.  “She Lay Down Deep Beneath the Sea” showcases a diverse range of sculpture, drawing neons, and painting.
