YBA, Marc Quinn dissolves the bodies logic in work that examines the nature as stranger- than- fiction, and distortions of the artists self, of underexamined disability and provocativeness among members of celebrity. The long time rampant, Kate Moss, has proved subject in multiplicity . "There is fear and fascination, the body (of the ego) and the (sexual) object are completely absorbed in it1."
Drawing from the mythological, the works present the uncanny, the borderline, "passable in both directions by pleasure and pain2".
Marc Quinn is notorious for a bust constructed from his own frozen blood.
