Contingent, fibreglass and polyester resin, cheesecloth, 1969. Eva Hesse 
Seam, latex and filler on wire mesh, grommets, 1968. Eva HesseEva Hesse complicated minimalism and made work that engages our emotions. The more I learn about art, the more I appreciate the courage of Eva Hesse.
Her work has always been strangely compelling for me too.
