Jasmine Maddock, who is joining the demo in London, also provides a good quote, saying, “His name should be Damien Herse. His head contains dead ideas that have already been done by other artists.”

"Damien Hirst admits he steals other people's ideas. We are simply drawing attention to this. If Christie's don't like it, they shouldn't sell Hirst's work. Lori Precious made kaleidoscopic/stained glass effects from butterflies nearly a decade before Hirst. She has been airbrushed out of the story and Hirst has got all the credit for her invention. I hope our action contributed to the pathetic auction result of £1.9 million against an estimate of £2.5 - £3.5 million (excluding buyer's premium)"
