The starting point of my inspiration is based on nature
and environment, meaning most of my images have been shaped by my
experience of Shona culture. To me art is a moral necessity; content,
symbolism, message and moral are as functional as form and beauty. Making
art can change action by which mind refers it's sensations to external
objects as a cause. I try to create art which pushes visual language in new directions involving myself in a dialogue through material, language, meaning and function. I see my art as part of a continuous dialogue between me and my audience. Through my art I treat and respect the material as a living force crying to be freed.
