I imagine that being process-oriented is at the front of your mind just now. I find it a fascinating thought that Hesse would have been so interested to see what has happened to her work since she made it, and would doubtless have been more positively concerned with the inherent conservation ‘problems’. Especially as she was always concerned to provide an ‘ick’ quality in the work. That is certainly true for me. I find that I am equally repelled and fascinated by the work – but I find her a compelling artist, and come back to her time and again.

I am nearing the end of the catalogue now, and am about to pass it to a friend for a while – after which I fully intend to read it again, but chapter by chapter and with more time for pondering, I hope.
