“I’m a spiritual person. So my art was inspired by how the Creator will destroy all the wicked things and from the remains He will create a new life (finding and preserving the beauty in the hideous). My earlier works we’re mainly focused on wire as material.
My interest in recycling was sparked after the burning down of our house in Chitungwiza in 2009. I scrounged through the remains of our former residence and picked up elements such as wire to express myself in times of desolation.
I usually target the non biodegradable items such as glass bottles and broken ceramics.
The idea is to give new existence to daily objects providing them with a lively unexpected presence beyond their primary use into poetic dimension.
Initially, the environmental conscious artists were recycling but today we proudly declare that we are in fact upcycling urban debris to mobilize existence.”
