last night in my dream

2009-10-13T12:34:00.008+03:00

we were in the same car. maybe it was ur car. a british car. you were driving and telling me things. teaching me.. like a speech...

another frame i remember, i was giving one of the tracings as a gift to you. the one u have this soft, peaceful look on your face. wearing a fleece jacket.

it felt good this journey.

"Criticise my work, but don't criticise the way I speak, don't criticise my teeth, don't criticise the way that I dress - it doesn't relate to my work," she says.

2009-05-22T16:02:00.004+03:00

This one is one of my favorites. I love that she's playing table tennis on a mirror-table, i love the ball in the air and i love the concentrated look.

2009-05-21T23:04:00.003+03:00

Yeah it's a bizarre combination, trainers&leopard patterned dress but i find it amusing and quite human. I like this daily kinda look and smiley face. This is just the thing she promises her audience. sincerity.

My sister thinks she looks like Hülya Avşar in this one! :) Well, for those who doesn't know who Hülya Avşar is; she was once chosen Miss Turkey, but when it was discovered that she wasn't a virgin, her title was taken back. Hahahahhahaaa!!!

I like it. She looks concentrated, but maybe its promotional? Well, i'm choosing to buy it, if so!

other than everything else, her devotion to art impresses me the most.

i like to read about her. read other people's thoughts on her, her interviews. i wonder if/how they change/edit her words. so i go back to read her own words. raw.

her works attract people to the raw. people love it or hate it, what they feel in an instant is raw.

When i try, i can look like her a bit. Look!

2008-12-23T13:06:00.003+02:00

She tries harder to balance things after making them too much and unbalanced. like collecting. Still, her art reminds me of Yin Yang. Very real& there's still hope, even tho you cross the line with her.

wooooo.

My mum would find the perfect dentistry solution to make her smile proudly!

(heyy Tray, see? i'm getting there,, your mirrors are working, i bumped into my mum sooo surprisingly ;) (yeah, yeah tracing, stop bothering me.)

2008-12-05T11:50:00.006+02:00

I love that she wears a Swatch Skin, exactly the one i wanted to have a few years ago. And her rings.. they're always there, even when she's painting.

And her ass! Oh yesss!!!! :)

She has this shape of eyebrows that always scared me. Disturbed, nervous, in-her-head women have that.

and Cindy Crawford&her followers..

Anyways, tracing her makes me wonder about:

Her jewelry. Especially her necklace, the key one. Is it the key to her diary? :) Her mail-box?

Or is it something like a wish key..

Wish key.. note: Send her one.

While I'm Tracing Emin i come across with other Tracers. I realize this makes me less original but then, i believe my essence will make it original. (Fuck i sound like i got balls!! :) yess! hey, Tray! fukk, i shouldnt smile that much, dont be ridicilous, shes not gonna like me, ohh!! Tray.. your ego is killin me.. Tray . . . QUIET!)

And it should reach a level of quality and quantity. She well produces art!.

Other Tracers remind me that i'm not alone which is a relief, i should search why.

Should

Shouldnt

Who else?

The other night a strange thing happened, while i was Tracing Emin, i came across with her ghost!! I told her i was Tracing Emin and that was the reason i wanted to have a photograph with her. She said she was more beautiful then Tray (i'm calling her Tray now, like, from the family;), which she really was that nite. But i think she has this perception because we see more of Tray's fucked-up photographs around, even in her own art. + i think Tray is pretty hot, isnt she? Anyways, another significant thing is she has a design studio called "Dükkan" which means The Shop. (-Tray, i'm afraid!! -For Fuck's Sake, Tracing!!)

Is she Tracing Emin, too??

I'm Tracing Emin.

Mission:

I'll be both literally and metaphorically Trac(y/i)ng Emin.

Which means:

I'll be trying to look at a reflection of myself on her mirror, which I'm hoping, will be an exploration of my soul from an other perspective. I feel quite close to her, but then, she's got the balls and i've got only my temper.

As art is better(?) when shared, (like the beauty! ;), i'll try to share the most with her. I will Trace her images, Trace her footsteps, read, eat, drink, sleep with her. As we're different humans and persons, her habits don't really match with my body or my thinking but then taste amounts (or sometimes, it can be drinking large amounts of hard liquers), pull me strongly back to her head.

I'm afraid i liked to read her book, altho i think she's a crazy bitch.

I like her unbalanced behavior, it feels like swimming in the sea. Streams in opposing directions... her opposing to the general is usually not the expected. I feel her mirror is moving constantly and so, her rays of perspective, do not reflect always with the same angle. I usually follow different paths from hers (as our traumas are different), but i'm liking her stream. I feel "together, we float". Something i've always liked watching/feeling art, the artist is getting in my head by letting me in hers. As in every art, audience is an art by itself, i will try to be a perfect reflection. (Excusé moi?) I assume this is an invitation and start my search. Starting from the surface, i'll swim as deep as i can with her.

Notes: Her last name Emin means "sure" in Turkish. It's too recognizable. She's quite bold isnt, she? (she's got the balls, i'm kinda scared). She's a 1st person woman artist.

Until next post,

Ciao!
