Into the Greater Light / Meredith A. Brown -- The Milk of Dreams -- Ndakaoneswa murima -- Ndichasvika rinhi ndionekwe -- Ndakavata pasi ndikamutswa nekuti anonditsigira -- Portia Zvavahera and Allie Biswas in Conversation.. - "In her paintings, Zvavahera gives form to emotions that manifest from other realms and dimensions beyond the domains of everyday life and thought. Her vivid imagery is rooted in the cornerstones of our earthly existence-life and death, pain and pleasure, isolation and connection, and love and loss. Zvavahera draws from a powerful visual vocabulary comprising women, her family, and shape-shifting animals, in scenes both metaphorical and fantastical. In several paintings she makes use of intricate patterns taken from her own floral or classical Zimbabwean designs. Her particular process of alternating painting and printing results in images that communicate complex emotions in a play of tension and release. The result is a deeply personal body of work that probes the nature of the human condition. As Zvavahera states, "It is me in the paintings.... I can only speak about myself."In addition to gorgeous reproductions of 24 paintings, including up-close details and installation views, this catalogue also features a new essay by Meredith Brown and an interview with the artist by Allie Biswas. This catalogue surveys work made since 2017."--
