Zimbiri’s ‘Entangled Tail’

Over time, her practice grew from the pursuit of precision to the embrace of intentional abstraction, representing narratives that sang of her assimilated experiences. Her process unfolded unexpectedly—as visions materialising before slumber or as echoes of vivid memories that had long laid dormant. "When I was younger, I would see something and want to recreate it. I was very mindful of the fact that I wanted to be technically sound enough to make decisions. I was very conscious of being able to recreate some things and then making the choice to change it if I wanted to," she concludes.
