Aggressively hugging clay - Part 1

I'm currently still progressing with experimenting with new materials and what I found tough when I began before was how to work with the new materials. As I had no idea what shape and form I would like the materials to be.

However, reflecting on the important aspects of my current work I came to the conclusion that I would like to explore the touch element. And through that I have began to explore the 'hug' and how I can apply pressure to the clay and see how and what form is made.
