Catalogue Note
"I've always really loved this idea of art, maybe, you know, curing people. And I have this kind of obsession with the body. I like the way that you've got all these individual elements inside a cabinet related to organisms inside the body."
Damien Hirst and Gordon Burn, On the Way to Work, London 2001, p. 25
