Shaun Kirby's Creep Hole is to be read against the repressive registers of the present, the ideological underpinnings of which are so reliant on ‘phantasmal’ forms of deceit and avoidance.

The three works, Back Door Hole, Front Door Hole and A Little Bit Norman, are developments in a project to re-envision the Bates house from Psycho according to the US Government’s FEMA manual for hardening buildings against conventional, biological, nuclear and chemical attack.
