| Introduction | . . . I believe my African ancestors work through my fingers to create each collectible art sculpture and family history book in the Kanika Marshall Art and Books collection. My creative process generally begins with a 25-pound block of red clay. Shapes of women, abstract forms, or other figures take shape in my mind's eye and my hands begin to move. Press. Scratch. Incise. Build. My hands are driven by a spiritual force to shape the clay and write family history books. Joyful. The spiritual essence from the ancestors shines through. I am humbled. |
