  1. Cecilia, do discuss the Designers approach to design and discuss actual designs (influences, inspiration, design elements, etc). What techniques have been used (carving, casting etc) and how has he used his materials (settings, cuts etc). And how does this relate to your practice. Do include images and a bibliography.
