Hymn

On the way to a lunch meeting in London Bridge today I passed a familiar sculpture outside Tate Modern. Familiar if you have ever owned the classic 14" toy Young Scientist Anatomy Set; or if you saw this 20-foot, six ton homage by Damien Hirst at the Saatchi Gallery in 2000.

I have done both. I had the smaller version in my office when I published nursing and health textbooks at Macmillan. So, despite the just-out-of-shot wrapping, fencing, netting and lack of annotation, I knew what this piece was called having seen Hymn before.
