John-
Thanks- no disrespect intended.
We call oil-based clay "modelling clay" or "plasticine" here.
As for the immense amount of effort put into the starving woman statue --
starving people are very inexpensive and easy to find in the world. Hiring a
few would have given them a decent income for quite a while.
