A graphite drawing study exploring a Dogon-style figure crowned with a tall, arched mask form, drawn in profile. The elongated, geometric silhouette and kneeling stance reflect the angular abstraction characteristic of Dogon carving traditions from Mali, where masks and figures carry deep spiritual and ceremonial significance tied to ancestor veneration and cosmology. Rendered in graphite with careful cross-hatching to define planes and depth, this piece continues an ongoing series of observational studies drawing from African sculptural forms.
Original artwork, hand-drawn in graphite on paper.
