Eva Hessa really did want to create things that were awful, disgusting and non-ideal. Having seen Hesse's work in person, I could not help but feel connected to her pieces. As a mother (and obviously female) there is an umbilical cord and birth connections that are extremely strong. There is a beauty within the grotesque.
