Claustrophiliacs Anonymous

Filed under: Art, General — January 24, 2008 @ 10:38 pm

At college yesterday, I was discussing with some friends how much I like camping. One of them was particularly unsurprised by this passion of mine considering my claustrophiliac tendencies! He then admitted to enjoying hunting around, exploring under the bedclothes with a torch as a child which is much like my revelatory discovery of the world inside the duvet cover that I had as a child. He then mentioned how perplexed his wife was by his love of pot-holing. I suggested that perhaps he was a claustrophiliac too and he realised that maybe he was! It really is quite a revelation when you realise it! Perhaps we should set up a claustrophilacs Anonymous at college?

We then wondered if Tracy Emin has Claustrophilia what with her unmade bed and her tent!

    Well Fiona, Tracy just might be facing some of her fears through her art. I have to tell you, though, you are not going to find me painting or in any way working with snakes in mine! :)

    You have a lovely blog here…sans the snake photo…and I look forward to exploring it a lot more.
