I Never Stopped Loving You

2010 · Droit House, Stone Pier, Margate

Pink neon text in Emin's own handwriting glows from the facade of Droit House on Margate's Stone Pier each evening at dusk. A love letter to the seaside town where she spent her childhood.

Another Time

1995 · Fulsam Rock, Stone Pier, Margate

A single cast iron figure stands on the remnants of Margate's Victorian jetty, submerging entirely at high tide before emerging again as the water recedes. On long-term loan to Turner Contemporary until 2030.
