  • “I realised that I was much better than anything I had ever made. I realised I was the work, I was the essence of my work.” —Tracey Emin

    The artist with her work

     “Neon is emotional for everybody, the neon and argon gases make us feel positive, that’s why you have neon at funfairs, casinos, red-light districts, and bars. It’s also to do with the way it electronically pulsates around the glass, it’s a feel-good factor. Neon can help people who suffer from depression.” —Tracey Emin
