Catalogue Note
"They [Flower Paintings] come from frozen sculptures and are a reflection of humans' relationships with nature and the planet. I remember visiting a flower market one day and noticing how all these flowers that shouldn't be available at the same time could be purchased so easily in one place because they are flown in from halfway around the world. It perfectly illustrates how human desire constantly reshapes nature's limitations." - Marc Quinn, 2010
