About Growing Well
Growing Well is a one-of-a-kind springstone sculpture hand-carved by Aron Kapembeza, one of the Zimbabwean sculptors represented by ZimCarving. It measures 12 × 11 × 18 cm and weighs 2.4 kg.
Springstone is a dense, hard Zimbabwean stone with a fine grain, which lets a sculptor cut crisp forms and polish them to a deep sheen. Like every piece in our collection, this sculpture was shaped with chisels, rasps and files, then sanded, heated and waxed by hand, so no two sculptures are ever the same.
