EnquireJoe Joseph was born in 1984 in Mudzi District.
Joe was taught the art of sculpting by his older borther Luckmore Joseph.
He has concentrated on carving faces and owls, believing it necessary for people to identify with forms they know and understand, rather than abstract representation.
Joe has yet to exhibit abroad and considers himself to be a recent newcomer in the field.
It’s hard to imagine the difficulty involved in transporting more than 300 stone sculptures from Zimbabwe on a world tour – some weighing so much it takes five men to lift them – but the team behind ZimSculpt has managed this tedious task for over a decade, and brings this beloved Zimbabwean art form to VanDusen Botanical Garden for its third and final year in Vancouver.
