'This is not a portrait of a person, it's a portrait of an image twisted by our collective desires' ...Marc Quinn on Stealth Kate
Marc Quinn's intricately detailed digital print of his 1996 iconic sculpture of supermodel Kate Moss depicts her unearthly beauty, but shows her limbs contorted in an extreme yoga pose, a reflection on the distortions of global media.
In this work the raw reflective material of diamond dust contrasts with the clean, sharp digital quality of the image of Kate.
