Week2, Long way Road

Now when the work got started with the african mask it began more challenging and interresting to do the work with two hands. It's fun sometimes to get everything dirty like in the childhood&to let the hand move freely without fearing that I cover my neighbour in mud..:p
that has happened this week:)
The circular shape I've picked for my mask looks simple, but more difficult when the one starts to work on it.
The most challenging part is the assimetry for me in the whole context, so that the face looks really like a mask and not a sorted, tangled up thing with 3 holes scattered on a half ball...
the tools wre also very different in use, by their shape and the imprint that they left on the clay, surely helpful in the future when I expect to do some more complicated forms that I also can experience the slight difference between them:)
Last but not least the process of making negative-positive and negative imprint again by adjusting different layers into eachother awekens my attention to the result of my working process..
let's see how it continous with the 'masterpiece' of the african tribesmen:))
