This suite of eight soft ground etchings traces the introspective, self-questioning and dark subject matter that often forms the backbone of Tracey Emin's work. The drawing style, with a much firmer line, takes her recent collaboration with Louise Bourgeois as a point of departure, but doesn't diminish the sense of fragility typically associated with Emin's drawings and prints.
