A graphite drawing composed of layered hand studies and a small carved figure, exploring the act of drawing and making from an African artistic lens. Two pairs of hands anchor the composition — one gesturing open, the other holding a small sculptural figure — set against a loose, textured background suggesting a cityscape or architectural structure. The piece reflects on the relationship between hand-making, sculpture, and lived perspective, echoing the visual language of African carving traditions filtered through contemporary observational drawing. Rendered in graphite with bold cross-hatching and varied mark-making, this work is part of an ongoing exploration of African art and craft as seen through the artist's own hand.
Original artwork, hand-drawn in graphite on paper.
