Ndandarika’s work focuses on the roles women occupy in Zimbabwean society. This stone sculpture depicts a seated woman holding a bowl of seeds she is selecting for the rainy season or grain she is preparing for the evening meal. It honors the everyday tasks women complete to ensure the continuity of their family and community.ProvenanceCreated in the early 21st century; George McCoy and Phillip Poovey, 2004; given to the NCMA, 2025.
