He is best known for his complex wall sculptures which create richly tessellated abstract surfaces out of cardboard and textiles. These works challenge the linearity of time and history, transfiguring ordinary materials into textured visual puzzles. Mapondera  is the co-founder and Director of Post Studio Arts Collective where he  runs the art residency programs which focuses on critical thinking and professional practice in art. He is concerned and passionate about how knowledge is passed from generation to generation and is interested in noticing what is lost during the process.
