Shona artist Tonderai Sowa with one of his abstract sculptures

Tonderai Sowa

Sculptor

“Two parents protecting their child.”

The tallest part is the husband and father; the slightly lower loop on the left is his wife. They are joined together at the back of the sculpture, as if they are arm in arm. Their encircling form protects their child, the heart of the family, represented by the inner loop at the centre.

Tonderai has found a fresh and unique approach to presenting that tired old roadside theme of the family group. Of course, that’s just what you’d expect from one of the best contemporary sculptors in Zimbabwe.

Springstone is a hard type of serpentine stone, with a dense, even internal structure of tiny grains. This variety, with pale speckles, comes from the Impinge pass through the Great Dyke in northern Zimbabwe.
