Yes, Syl, yes she has, she’s embroidered the linen too.
Well I'm sure JD thinks she may now possibly make someone a dutiful wife.

My avi is a neon piece by Tracey Emin.
Has she made that bed yet?

She’s verY prolific and her work is very diverse. She had done an extraordinary amount of embroidered work, some of it is quite exquisite and traditional. I like her neon very much though.

I like the piece in your avi, especially when I discovered the meaning behind it. I personally don't think Emin and other "modern" artists deserve the flack they get in the main, however some examples of art in this genre do seem a bit farcical every now and then.
The only thing I take issue with is the price. It's excluding people with less money from being able to buy the art and suggests that only the rich have the intellect to appreciate it. Obviously the artist wants a decent sum for their work but does it really have to be a fortune? Creating works of art is meant to have its own reward in self fulfilment.
Just think it's a shame, that's all.

Some of her drawing is a bit iffy for my taste, some of it I get and quite a bit of it is yikes, wtf?
But as I say, she is prolific and is a great exponent of multi media. It’s a shame that if you want to own a piece of her artwork it costs a vast amount of money but like most people you buy prints of her work if you want it in your house.
I go to a big Print Exhibition once a year and for the last two years I have bought three prints by a female artist whose work I greatly admire which didn’t cost a fortune and that makes me happy.

You weren't a fan of the messy bed then? :lesson:
It's admirable that some artists don't charge ludicrous prices for their work like the lady whose work you like. Emin etc would still be very well off if they charged half the price but one does wonder where people who buy sizeable art keep it! The tasteful example in your avi wouldn't fit nicely in the hall or next to the tele...the rich live in another world.

I should think the majority of rich folk who buy so called works of art dont live in a semi in Huddersfield.
What I do find sad is many precious works of art are sold to private buyers and then locked away never to be seen again.
What a waste.

That goes for many remarkable fossils as well, many are in private hands either locked away or displayed in some rich bastard's mansion, that include perhaps the finest fossil ever found - the spectacular Montana duelling dinosaurs, a young Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops who died locked in mortal combat forever beyond scientific examination and the priceless knowledge they could impart.
