Specialist note

Discussing this piece and her choice to portray herself naked, Emin said, ‘the hut is a bare and naked thing. I thought it made perfect sense if I was. It’s also got some kind of weird, religious look in it, like I’m praying or something’ (T. Emin quoted at https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/emin-the-last-thing-i-said-to-you-was-dont-leave-me-here-ii-p11921/text-summary, [accessed 12 September 2014]).
