Praying to a Different God presented new work by internationally renowned British artist Tracey Emin in the Sydney home of Amanda Love. All new work, it represented the broad spectrum of Emin’s multi-disciplinary practice, including neon, embroidery, film and mono prints. It just happened nightmare drawing, 2010 has the appearance of the constellations mapped out in thread. An ill-defined night sky offers little solace to the dreamer, as subconscious images try to conjure themselves into being but in the confusion become wholly nightmarish.
Working in neon since 1995 Emin now owns this medium, often using poetic and emotive language. I Whisper to My Past Do I have Another Choice, 2010 embodies her affinity with the transference and energy that neon emits, literally, through its chemical and electrical charge.
