Catalogue Note
"I like the idea of a thing to describe a feeling. I like ideas of trying to understand the world by taking things out of the world. You kill things to look at them...I hope at first glance it will look alive. It could have to do with the obsession with trying to make the dead live or the living live forever." Damien Hirst
