Artist Research

I have been researching a number of artists who use beds or bedrooms in their work. I found two artists that i was very interested in and thought would fit in well with what i am doing for my design. The first artist i chose to research and study was previously introduced to us in one of our Visual Communication lessons, who is Tracey Emin. I was very interested in one particular piece of work she has produced, which is called "My Bed". The emotions she tries to get across to her audience, i felt i could almost relate to them at this time period. Another artist i researched was Tamar Stone. Again, she uses beds in her work, but in a very different way. Her belief that her bed or her bedroom was the most important feature of the home, was the same as my thought so i could relate to this very much. Also what interested me about her work was the writing on the bed sheets. The words printed on the bed sheets indicate she has secrets and she hides them in her bedroom. Similarly, at this point in my life i often found myself hiding away in my bedroom, and my bed was my place to relax and to express all my emotions. Therefore, this is why i decided to include these two artists in my project.
