Specialist note

'If you look at my face, I'm actually going: 'Quick. Quick. Take the photo.' Its worry. I wanted to show my friends, but I couldn't take all my friends there, to the morgue in Leeds. I'm absolutely terrified. I'm grinning, but I'm expecting the eyes to open and for it to go: 'Grrrrraaaaagh!'
(D. Hirst, quoted in D. Hirst and G.Burn, On the Way to Work, London 2001, p. 36).
