Tracey Emin

And that's something that I grapple with quite a lot in the last chapter.

It's like, I talk about Paul Rego and her abortion series and a series of paintings and then a very astonishing aquatint, Tracey Emin's monotype works and the way that print can actually be a really important vessel for getting across some really complex ideas that sometimes photography can almost be too invasive, especially if you're talking about photo reportage.

Um, so, you know, again, it's like why Ken has said, you know, this has my skin cells on it.

This has my, you know, probably has a bit of a leftover eyelash.

There is a lot there.

And I like the fact that they kind of curated it interestingly together at the Tate Modern because there's the picture of Tracey Emin dressed up as Frida in a photo taken by Mary McCartney.

The link was uncanny.

I also saw the Marilyn Monroe exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, which we'll talk about in more detail later.

And then I said, no, honey, big mommy, honey, you need to see this.

And what was most important was the way the viewers were listening to a Tracey Emin video.

And, you know, both of the women.

used their art to talk about their physical pain and their physical challenges and experiences.

Tracey Emin through abortion and Frida Kahlo on the other end from wanting children and not being able to have them.

Miscarriages, what her body went through, especially with her accident.

And women watching Tracey Emin's video were crying.

Yeah,

In the news this month, there was tragedy in the UK, with the Labrador Grove rail crash in West London, which killed 31 people.

Tracey Emin exhibited My Bed at the Tate Gallery, remember that? It was one of the shortlisted works for the Turner Prize.

The Rugby World Cup began in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

And in UK true crime news, Harold Shipman went on trial at Preston Crown Court, accused of murdering 15 elderly female patients who died in the Greater Manchester area.
