Carter and Space

I came across this passage by Angela Carter which I find very interesting. I had given no consideration really to how we fit into buildings or how they affect us until I was recently pointed to Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Space.
Certainly I know that to create large works of art (large in any sense) you need space (both physical and time), but how constrained one was or wasn't physically I did not think would affect how you worked, but now I am convinced it does.

Conversely and personally I thought being in a large expanse as in Australia would allow/prompt me to make larger works, but the opposite has happened, my pictures (and writings) were always on the small side but here they have if anything gotten even smaller.
