EnquireI was born in Marandara and moved to Harare in 1991.
I am a stone sculptor and was inspired by the late Andrew Gato. I learnt from Martin Umali and others.
I carve abstracts, shoes, flowers, birds and elephants which are my favourites.
My carving helps support my family, including my three children.
The Zimbabwean sculptures, tucked along the garden’s paths, are beautiful in their simplicity, carved from a single stone that reveals its form as artists without a plan make their first cuts. Sculptors such as Passmore Mupindiko and Patrick Sephani, who will demonstrate their talents through the Dow Gardens run, tap into a fusion of their country’s cultural legacy and contemporary environment.
When Passmore Mupindiko’s grandfather taught him how to sculpt, an art that once captured the images of Zimbabwe’s tribal chiefs so that new generations would know what great men they were, the 7-year-old couldn’t imagine where his art would lead him.
