Anonymous user comment: I find this drawing incredibly moving. Emin’s drawings in general are very singular and powerful. I found a really interesting article she wrote about her relationship to drawing in the Guardian. My favourite passage in her text (I also like her honesty when she writes) is the following:

“It took me years to understand the magic of drawing. For years, I tried to make things look how they are – instead of being what they are. Drawing is an alchemic language. Some of my favourite drawings I have done with my eyes closed – or so drunk I do not remember making them.”

Oh, and here’s a link to the article:
