My Story
From a young age, Frederick was interested in making art, but economic challenges at home forced him to find work at a very young age. His artistic journey started by making small wire cars, but his passion was realized during a chance encounter while doing a welding job. After realizing that his welding machine could manipulate things into different shapes and forms, he begun making small animals using junk from his community. He had a short apprenticeship with renowned Zambian junk artist Owen Shikabeta, who encouraged him to step outside the box and unlock his imagination to bigger and bolder creations.
‘I go around picking all sorts of junk in my community. I usually get calls to pick up scrap metal from different locations. I feel proud moving around my community, because many children see me and know that I am going to make something extraordinary.’
Exhibitions
Frederick believes that his art has helped people see the beauty in junk and encouraged young people to think twice before getting rid of metal with no regard for the environment.
