the other Quinn

the artist

Mark quin is an artist at the kent institute for art and design, he's a fat guy, sligtly balding. he wears a suit every day, though he only has about four which he wears on has cleaned about once a year. one of them is tartan. he wears the same green shirt every day and at weekends he sells printers for PC world. (there is also a famous marc quinn who makes bloodheads but he is boring.)

the art

todays art work was a plastic bag nailed to the wall of our studio. last month he produces a series of around two hundred slides which he said "trancended the sublime". his best one was a picture of anish Kapoors sculpture of the void, with the void cut out.

the beret

Quinn has a very big head and thus has difficulty finding a hat that fits him, though I think he has a head scarf.
