This Makonde Head is the first in a series of personal objects that I am drawing. This particular object was given to me as a Valentine present by my husband. Three years after visiting a gallery owner's apartment in Lisbon, Fernando remembered which piece was my favorite one and sent it to Matt. We are not sure if the Makonde head is from a staff or a fetish but the power of it's carving is obvious.
My goal is to draw 25-36 personal objects that I have collected over the last 30 years. Each object holds special power and significance for me.
