I am a British born, Zimbabwean Artist currently in Mexico. I grew up in Harare and moved to England from Zimbabwe in search of new adventures at the age of nineteen. After a year of working in London I enrolled on a foundation course at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and later went onto do a B.A. in Fine Art Sculpture at Chelsea College of Art and Design.

During my years at Chelsea I was interested in identity and colonialism. Interested in balance, identification, ownership and space, I created large scale interactive sculptures and was particularly interested in creating chairs in a variety of material.Specializing in wood and metal workshops I continued to make large interactive projects.

I have lived in a variety of different places since graduating in 2006, spending most of my time in Japan, I now live in Mexico DF. Travel and lack of studio space directly affects the medium I use. Using anything available and producing smaller two dimensional work, I continue to be interested in space and how something is identified within a space.

 

Playing with form and shape I have been 'dissecting' image and enjoying the idea of transformation. I see myself as a painter, a sculptor and a designer of sorts, at times exhibiting work in galleries.

 

Thailand and India 2007

My work involved documentation, mostly in photographic form.

 

Japan 2007-2010

My work involved ideas surrounding transition, state changes and forms of the in between, not quite one form or the other. I did a lot of 2D work in Japan. Attempting to do a drawing/sketch a day even if it were simply a doodle. This turned into one of the best projects I have ever done as it resulted in a large body of work and from that I have drawn on other ideas for work. One of the projects that came out of the drawing a day idea was in the form of design. Thinking in my small Japanese room how I could transform the space I was inhabiting. 

 

Mexico 2011-2012

: started a project that was based on ideas of mutation, illness /cancer, especially breast cancer. Again looking at transition, state changes and a space that inhabits that change.
