"The fact that these flowers are always available to us is artificial and unnatural. The other side to these works is that they are a celebration of colour, life and sensuality. I always buy my flowers myself and arrange them as though I were creating a sculpture. So in a sense, the final product is like the painting of a sculpture." - Marc Quinn, 2010
