Tracy Emin at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art

Went to see a Tracy Emin exhibition in Edinburgh. Id seen some of her work previously at the Saatchi gallery, but this exhibition provided a much more complete biography of the artist and her work.
My favourite pieces were Its not the way i want to die, which is a sculpture of a margate rollercoaster, i believe intended to show her own fragile nature and vulnerability. (as most of the pieces did).
Another sculpture called The perfect place to grow, which was a small garden hut on stilts surrounded by potted plants. Inside the hut was a tv screen viewed through a tiny hole, which played a looped video of her father walking through a dense garden to deliver her a flower.
