Madamombe Grandmother

"Colleen Madamombe" stone sculpture Colleen’s short stout women figures quickly became a symbol of womanhood in Zimbabwe, representing the strong matriarchal stature that is active, involved, and hardworking and yet able to discharge all her traditional duties. These themes of womanhood , women at work, harvesting, carrying water, winnowing and giving birth which are experiences with which she was personally familiar are some of the subjects that led her to acquire an inspirational role within the stone sculpture movement.
