MEET AKIM

As a first generation Zimbabwean-American artist, grown in the mountains, my perspective is shaped by imbrications of being. My work navigates layerings and liminalities of identity, myth, and storytelling; in-between realms of the self.

All materiality is a single body, alive with memory, weight, and form. In the Contemporary age, the industrial Anthropocene, where the bones of the world are cast in steel, I often turn to this medium - my first material love - to tell the stories I wish I was told about the world; about myself.

My sculptures are living objects and sites of story-building, where personal and collective histories collide, transmuting the industrial age into something more intimate. My works celebrate the intricate and infinite imbrications of our shared human experience.
