I may not have reached my current position as a designer had I not been truly inspired by african art whilst in college. This really was the point when I started to create freely. Shown here in the images are my first ever clay sculpture, which was of an anthropomorphic Dogon head from Mali. I find the style, shape and animalistic elements fascinating, especially when you understand them in 3D. This was my starting point and from now I wish to gain a much deeper understanding of African masks and tribal ceremonies.
