'There is a thing about beauty. Beauty is always associated with the male fantasy of what the female body is. I don't think there is anything wrong with beauty. It's just what women think is beautiful can be different. And there can be a beauty in individualism...it's part of your identity. Individual things are seeping out, leaking out. What comes out of [my works] is a fascination with the body. I think you have to sit back and think about the actual structure of the body underneath.'
(The artist quoted in D. Sylvester, 'Areas of Flesh' in The Independent, 30 January 1994, reproduced in Gagosian Gallery (ed.), Jenny Saville, New York 2005, p. 15).
