A couple days ago I was talking about our visit to Madrid and the corresponding museum orgy. It was so lovely to get back to see them again, and I was reminded what a great museum the Thyssen is. While roaming around their modern art section I stumbled across a Tracey Emin neon light sculpture. I've made extensive use of her art, especially her neon light sculptures, over the years in various classes so it was more than a bit exciting see one in person.
If you aren't familiar with Emin's work you should really check it out. Part of it relates to a series of her (very distinctive) sketches and hand-written scrawls that she turned into neon light art. It's like walking into her head.
