Zimbabwean artist Moffat Takadiwa is turning discarded plastic into artistic tapestries designed to become a record of extraction. Takadiwa gathers plastic consumer waste from recycling centres and dumping sites across Harare, meticulously sorted by colours and textures and then arranged and drilled into a woven-like artwork that blur the boundaries between tapestry and sculpture.
