Damien Hirst: Cathedral, Notre-Dame aquatint indeterminate forms merge with etherealDamien Hirsts Cathedral series features symmetrical kaleidoscopic patterns made up of numerous butterfly wings, inspired by the stained glass rose windows of Gothic cathedrals around the world, such as the Hagia Sophia, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Palais des Papes.
