OPINION - Tracey Emin: 'I was away from home, alone and in unbearable pain. Then I realised I’d shit myself'

It’s very hard for me to write when I don’t feel well, especially when I have jet-lag and feel brain-dead, but I’ve felt like this for weeks now. Like I’ve been hit round the head with a giant rubber club. I have tinnitus 24 hours a day, excruciating eye pain,…

It’s 6am in the morning, I’m in Sydney, Australia. I’ve been here for about 30 hours now and to be honest I’ve spent most of the time asleep, dreaming. Strange dreams mainly to do with death and journeys and art and fear. In fact, all to do with fear.

OPINION - Tracey Emin: Love letter to New York

Last night I sat on the sofa, Teacup and Pancake taking it in turns to snuggle up next to me. Their warm little bodies breathing sighs of relief, so happy to have me home. I should have been writing this column, but instead I wrote a love letter to New…

OPINION - Tracey Emin: Why I cry every time I come to New York

Every time I come to New York I cry. I don’t cry a little, I cry a lot. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, who I’m with, if it’s hot or if it’s cold, thick snow or boiling humid, damp heat, I’m still going to cry.

OPINION - Tracey Emin: I can’t cope with the atrocities

OPINION - Tracey Emin: I’m finally happy to take my work to America - and the just-opened White Cube New York

Back in the Nineties, I was accused of being a narcissist. Blindly myopic and self-obsessed. Thirty years later there is still no greater insult than to be called a narcissist in the cultural world. I’ve always used my life and myself as subject matter. I have never painted pictures, only…
