In his first UK solo show the Zimbabwean artist has produced a group of hanging wall sculptures that underline the dominant influence of foreign products in both Zimbabwe and other African countries.

Indeed, they should give us all pause for thought since the intriguing sculptures are made up from found pieces including old plastic bottle tops, keyboards and other discarded electrical goods, spray cans, fishing lines, tyre rubber and even tooth paste.
