UKHAMBA

​

 

A study in imperfection and abundance, Los Angeles, 2021

​

The baskets woven by Zulu women, and sold on the side of the road, and in rural markets throughout Kwa Zulu-Natal, are uniform and regular and organic and imperfect in their precision. Woven from reeds and grass, a Zulu basket is a study in adaptation, a tool of survival, a symbol of community. In the heat of the east-African bush. Ukhamba explores our capacity for humanity at the coalface of digital precision. Ukhamba is uniform and regular and organic and imperfect. Ukhamba is abundance.
