Marc Quinn: Light Into Life

Striking images from the Light Into Life exhibition with artistic and scientific commentary. Light into Life encompasses monumental sculptures in the Kew landscape alongside a gallery exhibition that examines our complex and often challenging relationship with the natural world. It includes newly conceived artworks inspired by Kew’s archives, scientific research and horticulture. These are accompanied by a selection of existing pieces, many of which explore the idea of nature as a fundamental part of humanity – a prominent focus of Marc Quinn’s practice since the 1990s. Together, the works explore our common biological origins and reflect on humanity’s capacity to both preserve and destroy nature. The book features exclusive images from the exhibition, alongside an essay by Francesca Gavin and contributions by Kew scientists, Prof. William J. Baker and Dr Melanie-Jayne Howes.
