.In the beginning of the creative process, I engaged and persisted. Building the the body was a challenge, as I really hadn't done any kind of clay work in years. I wanted to smash it and recreate it, but I kept going. I kept laying clay one ontop of the other, but worried that it wouldn't stay together. (Spoiler alert: it did.) In the middle of the process, I envisioned quite a bit. I came to a point where I stopped having my mind-map hold my hand. I started to imagine and to pause for a moment to do so. I would think and think about what is supposed to go where and using past experiences of how it'll work. (I have a bunch of fuzzies in my hair) In the final process, the end, I was making sure that Ibhokisi was very expressive.
I tried to show a bit of my personality. Seemingly ok on the outside- but very, very, rugged on the inside and pretty lost. I also wanted to show my heritage. I'm Zulu, so Ibhokisi is an antelope found in South Africa- and a Secret mask from Zulu tribes.
