Is it the 1st of April already ?

If it was her fathers shroud was it taken off his body before or after he was interred

About as potty as the woman who married herself

From my profound psychiatric training ( 2/52 as a medical student in the 1960s) I would say
THEY ARE BOTH NUTTY!

What, both Tracy Emin AND the stone Galen?

It's the thought of the shroud that makes me shudder.

Absolutely! I've met a lot of psychotic stones in my life. Haven't you?
There's a large one at the bottom of my garden I'm very worried about. I swear it's watching me every time I go into the garden.

Galen You could collect up the stones and the pay someone loads of money to heat them up and lay them down you back to cure all you ills.
If this isn't an April fool joke I don't know what is.
The website description is hilarious.

Stone therapy is one of the elements of D' s beauty therapy course

I read about someone a while back who married the Berlin wall and also a lady who was in love with the Eiffel tower. She had her surname changed to Eiffel

Such a self-publicist! No-one else would have her!

I do not think she is nuts - I think she is very shrewd and trying to keep herself in the public eye.

Tracey Emin has always sought public attention and outcry. She was probably one of the first experiences that many people had with the concept of 'modern' art.

A friend's daughter did a beauty therapy course and often gives her a hot stone massage - she says is is wonderful, very relaxing, and takes away aches and pains.

Better than psychotic stones eyeing you up and waiting their chance. Reminds me of an old saying "Ellum hateth man, and waiteth" - the elm apparently has a habit of dropping off a branch without warning, and heaven help you if you are standing underneath.

Large stone, I'm scratching my head, Mick Jagger Keith Richard etc, not that large at all! Drugs and nervous energy, quite slim I'd say.

Does she mean stone as in actual inanimate type of rock stone? Most would want a bit more out of marriage than everlasting stony silence Few arguments though. Oh well it takes all sorts, at least if she feels like getting stoned she has a companion to share it with.

Is it a standing stone? Perhaps it has some Druidic significance. According to the Guardian she was the one wearing the shroud as a wedding dress.

A hot stone massage sounds horrific but is absolutely wonderful!

According to that link the rock is 'her anchor'

Why didn't she just marry a real anchor?
I'm sure the RN have got a few to spare.

I think TE is very shrewd. I saw her 'Intimate' exhibition at Margate and honestly, it was rubbish. 'Emperor's New Clothes' came to mind at the time, but what would a little pleb like me know ...

Me too Imperfect27 - I have always thought Emperor's New Clothes (and Damian Hurst). Nice work if you can find enough gullible people with plenty of money.

I wonder if there is room for the stone in her unmade bed

I have often thought she seems stoned - perhaps this explains everything!

Imperfect I lol so much I now am having a coughing fit

am now

Had a hot stone therapy on a cruise once. Wonderful but very expensive!

Just a thought ................ it couldn't be Ed Milliband's stone could it ?

Bonkers. While I can sort of see the point of and admire the thought and skills involved in Damien Hirst's pieces, I honestly don't get Tracy Emin at all. I did hear an urban myth once that Saatchi's cleaning lady had hoovered and tidied it all up when he bought it....... I can just about grasp some conceptual art but a teenage bedroom littered with dirty laundry, fag ends and take away boxes is not exactly unique is it? Every blinking hall of residence in the country has got lots of them.

When we were kids we had stone hot water bottles in our beds...
