I thought it would be my one and only exhibition so I decided to call it My Major Retrospective.
Tracey EminThey grew really quickly. One minute I didn't have any tits and the next I had the biggest tits in the world.
Tracey EminI've got over so much. Mum wouldn't want anything to come into my life that would make me fragile again
Tracey EminI've worked really hard. I've made three pieces of seminal art in my life. If I died tomorrow, I'd be remembered for making them. There are a lot of artists who, no matter how hard they work in their lives, will never make anything seminal.
Tracey EminI like poor materials. I couldn't see myself making a bronze sculpture - it's not me. I like neon, because it's moving constantly and like drawing. The chemicals going through the neon turns me on really - it's sexy. I like fabrics, but one of the main things with objects is that I really have to love them before I can use them. I have to have the object around me a long time. The little chairs I used in my last White Cube show are ones that my dad bought for me. A sort of a psychometry with objects and things. It's like the pieces I've made are my things.
