Catalogue Note
"I see every spot within each painting as being alone yet together with all the other spots... I can find the pieces sad or happy, or even dumb. I think I'll always make them." - Damien Hirst (Damien Hirst, et. al., I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now. London, 1997, n.p.)
