I Like Poor Materials. I Couldn't See

Tracey Emin

I 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.
