Zizipho Poswa’s current solo, ‘iiNtsika zeSizwe’ (Pillars of the Nation), is the artist’s first series of sculptures made entirely out of bronze. Poswa has embraced the process of learning about new materials and sees this step as the first of many in her evolution as an artist. In a recent interview with @interiordesignmag she told @osmancanyerebakan: “I love working with clay, and it was natural for me to progress to entirely bronze. I wanted to be able to explore intuitions and also explore the possibility of outdoor sculpture. Some forms, such as the headpiece in Mam’uNoSayini’(2023), are hard or even physically impossible to achieve with clay but bronze makes them possible. These are powerful women, each carrying a load of 50 kgs. The material speaks to this strength.” ‘iiNtsika zeSizwe’ by @zizipo_poswa is on exhibition at @galerie56_official in Manhattan’s Tribeca until 29 July.
