Opal Stone and Springstone are the colloquial names for the most commonly used variations of Serpentine.

There are also many sculptures made of Fruit Serpentine, Black Serpentine, Lapidolite, Leopard Stone, Lemon Opal, Golden Opal and Cobalt Stone.

S c u l p t u r e is more than an art form. It is more than a job to these sculptors.

It is their livelihood, feeding their families and also their minds.

The sculptors’ tools are few and simple: H a m m e r, c h i s e l , f i l e , w a t e r a n d s a n d p a p e r.

Among other factors, the value of a sculpture is largely determined by the hardness of the stone that is used. Harder stones take more time to sculpt and are more expensive in their raw form.

Their durability might be considered in relation to this continuum:

Soft Soapstone

Serpentine

Cobalt

Opal Stone

Springstone

Verdite

Hard Leopard Stone

When the sculpture is complete, it is heated in a fire. A clear polish is then applied, melting into the stone and enhancing its natural colour and lustre.

It is, therefore, surprising when he says of the baby in his wife’s arms, “That is my first born.” The situation explains itself when he refers to his brother, who has died of AIDS and the children that he left behind. Dudzai considers himself a messenger and speaks, at length, of the impor tance of practising safe sex.

But the reason the sculpture has become a trademark is because, quite frankly, people like to look at women. Actually, he admits, he would prefer to sculpt male figures.

Once they are packed, the pieces are transported from the Zimsculpt Gallery in Harare to Durban in South Africa, by lorry. In Durban, the pieces are transferred onto ships to Europe, the Middle East, and North and Central America. From the ports of their arrival, they are brought to storage areas, where they may be safely stored and protected from damage, until they are shown in various exhibitions and galleries. When they are purchased, the sculptures are packed, once again, for their final voyage.

Of all mediums, it seems that stone is the most inconvenient. Awkward, heavy, expensive and subject to damage in an instant, one wonders why these artists continue. Almost invariably, they answer quite simply:

Because stone sculpture is naturally clean in appearance, it may be adapted to suit almost any décor. It shares an obvious symbiosis with very modern or minimal design but is also complementary to more eclectic environments, cleansing the visual palate. Beside traditional pieces, sculpture serves as an interesting and sometimes eccentric juxtaposition.

Square Chikwanda “Fashion Show”

The month of December is generally viewed as a month of paradox: blended with the joy, celebration, and hope of the festive season is mixed a generous ser ving of stress. It is the month that propels us into the New Year with best wishes for prosperity; the month whereby dreams, happiness, love and tenderness all seem so close.

Each December, Toronto hosts an impor tant exhibition that brings together and promotes Canadian ar tists and ar tisans and their creations. Every year my wife and our two daughters attend this show. In previous years, they would always invite my son and I to join them, but without success. We would always find a pretext – albeit a weak one – such as, “Ar ts and crafts are for ar tists”, to justify our refusal. In response, my wife would retor t, “You don’t know what you are missing! There might even be a piece that you fall in love with.” To which I would respond, “I am already in love, therefore the chance of falling in love a second time is unlikely.”

I had a change of hear t last December, when my wife asked if I would like to go with her. Whether it was because this time the children would not be accompanying my wife, I felt a cer tain obligation to keep her company or whether curiosity had finally gotten to me, I cannot say for cer tain. What I can say is that my initiation to this exhibition has born in me a new passion – that of the Shona stone sculptures of Zimbabwe.

Not long after our arrival, we came upon a booth that displayed a variety of sculptures by Canadian ar tists. However, it was the centrepiece that immediately captured my attention. It was a sculpture of a young woman, bent over with her long hair cascading forward, forming a sor t of cur tain over her feet. Her body was made of highly polished Springstone, while her hair, left unpolished, created a contrast with it. I was told that the ar tist’s name was Gregory Mutasa and the title of this piece was Bending Bather. She was captivating. Her form was smooth and fluid. It fascinated me that an element as hard and cold as a rock could be transformed into this sublime form that radiated soft warmth. After deliberating only for a moment, I purchased it. To this original piece, I soon added three more Shona stone sculptures. Since then, my knowledge of Shona stone sculpture has grown and with it my appreciation of this ar t form. I am inspired by its beauty and am grateful for the new passion that it has awakened.

I haven’t communicated with you in a while but am wondering whether Colleen’s Mother and Two Girls sculpture is still available.

I am still enjoying the Fat Lady, but she was chipped in several places, a week ago, when I fell on some ice in the parking lot at my office. I had tried to protect her from damage, while changing offices, by taking her home with me . . . but I guess that neither she nor I was fully protected.

She’s in one piece and perhaps only I would know that she’s changed.

People love her and enjoy rubbing the smoothed areas.
