The concept of the anchorite, derived from the Greek word ‘anachoreo’, meaning ‘to withdraw or retreat’, traditionally denotes a religious recluse who chooses to live in seclusion, often in a small cell or ‘anchorhold’, to dedicate their life to prayer and meditation. This concept, while largely associated with religious practice in the Early Middle Ages, can also be applied metaphorically to the modern artist who chooses to seclude themselves for the sake of their work. In this context, the artist is seen as an ‘artistic anchorite’ – one who withdraws from society in pursuit of their creative endeavours, dedicating themselves wholly to their art.
