\"Snail<\/p>\n

SNAIL PRINT FACTORY<\/strong> 2014.
\nHana Al Saadi bested 61 entries with her installation \u2018Snail Print Factory\u2019 to win the contest whose prize includes an all-expense paid trip to London to meet Hirst and have a guided tour of Gloucester Studios.<\/p>\n

\u2018Snail Print Factory\u2019 is an installation art that explores three important stages of the natural lifecycle: Eating, Mating and reproduction. <\/p>\n

Within the micro-ecosystem, the snails go about their business and leave slime trails on paper that tell stories of the individual journeys and encounters <\/strong><\/em>and new beginnings inside the tank. <\/p>\n

About the work, Hirst said, \u201cI love art like Hana\u2019s that asks questions and makes you think and is difficult to define, and I love art that involves a living element, it makes the art feel more real.
\nIt looks simple too and is universal and communicates across international boundaries, which all great art should \u201d. Don’t you just wish to hell you’d hatched this slug trail concept first, Mr Hirst ? <\/p>\n

” Does Hana find photocopier paper works the best in recording the snail trails “<\/p>\n

Update 2; January 2016<\/p>\n

Hirst surpasses himself in his enthusiasm for London Dada’s concept of using animal trails as art in themselves, to the extent of using it as wallpaper on his own website DamienHirst.com ( screenshot below ).
\n“The fame of a superhero, the creative imagination of a window cleaner”<\/strong><\/p>\n
