12. Writing How do we describe what we are making?
 Barry Schwabsky described Eva Hesse’s work for the Camden Arts Centre in London, "Things folded, things piled, things twisted, things wound and unwound; tangled things, blunt things to connect to; materials that have a congealed look, materials that seem lost or discarded or mistreated; shapes that look like they should have been made of flesh and shapes, that look like they might be made of flesh but should not have been – you can look at these things, these materials, these shapes, and feel the shudder of an unnamable nanosensation, or you can let your eye pass by them without reaction; maybe you can do both at once."[39]

35. Thoughts…. Think carefully about what you are casting in:
For example, wax is a very bodily material, not just in appearance:
What about chocolate or consumables? What does it mean that something is edible? How could that relate to the body, to ’consumption’ in contemporary society? To the media? To religion (transubstantiation)? To death?
What does metal mean to you? Why? What about plaster? Why?
Investigate the history of materials
