Meaning & Analysis

True to her typically playful use of words, Emin chose the title Crane as she pictures herself with one leg thrust vertically in the air like the bird she references. By carving a series of fine lines into her woodblock, Emin carefully delineates her figure with simple yet evocative mark making. By thickly layering black ink onto the woodblock during the printing process, Emin created an ambient interplay between light and texture which is quite unlike her usual style. Crane is an instance of experimentation for Emin, as she reduces her nude form to effortlessly suggestive lines.

  • Tracey Emin, born in 1963, stands as a fearless provocateur in the contemporary art scene. A trailblazer of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late 1980s, the artist has sparked conversation and controversy for decades. Confronting themes of love, trauma and femininity with great vulnerability, Emin's work is a visceral tapestry of her life and has forged an intimate dialogue between artist and audience. In 1999, this raw approach to storytelling won her a nomination to the Turner Prize and, in 2007, it got her a coveted spot as a Royal Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA).
