Damien Hirst Interview

Theres an interview with Damien Hirst over at Art Info..

Damien, I was surprised that you’ve named this series after Philip Larkin poems. Does this mean you’re entering a more romantic phase in your work?

I did a load of medicine cabinets a long time ago and I named them after Sex Pistols songs. I suppose I must be getting old if I’m naming work after Philip Larkin poems. I don’t know. They’re quite religious-looking, and I think I was just trying to find a way to avoid the religiousness by saying they’re named after poems rather than naming them after churches or anything like that. I’m still coming to terms with my own religion.
