New Terrace Wires Commission, St Pancras International, London

Above the Grand Terrace and beneath the famous St Pancras station clock hangs a new, electric pink light installation by contemporary superstar Tracey Emin. Depicting the words, I Want My Time With You, in Emin's signature handwriting, the bold light sculpture is the latest commission for Terrace Wires, the station's public commissioning programme for new artworks by a leading international artist.

The new light installation is at once demanding, personal, romantic and overtly political. Emin said: 'I want my time with you. I cannot think of anything more romantic than being met by someone I love at a train station and as they put their arms around me, I hear them say 'I want my time with you''.

While the surface message appears whole-heartedly romantic, the underlying message nods to the troubling political situation Britain now finds itself in. Emin, an avid anti-Brexiteer, sees the new work as 'a great subliminal message to the rest of Europe'. Proud of being part of the EU, Emin, admits that she is 'devastated by Brexit' and that she hopes to make 'a statement that reaches out to everybody from Europe arriving in to London'.

Refracting its soft pink light around the station, the largest text piece ever made by Emin will welcome and uplift the spirits of the 50 million passengers travelling through St Pancras station each year. Artistic Director of the Royal Academy, Tim Marlow, has said 'I can think of no-one better to present to the international audiences of St Pancras'. As one of the 'most important and influential artists in the world', St Pancras has well and truly got the Tracey Emin treatment!
