The acclaimed African artist Mukomberanwa credited his childhood spent in a rural environment "surrounded by mountains and rivers with places full of trees" as the fundamental influence on his work. His work is characterized by sharp lines and hard planes used with confidence alongside sweeping curves and deeply etched surfaces. Springstone is a type of serpentine found in Zimbabwe.
