Recently I made a fallow skin drum.
This was the culmination of a whole years quest to find sustainably and ethically sourced hoops and skins that come from these islands not imported or easily ‘clicked “into my internet shopping basket .I was luckily able to join a group of magnificent people last week to celebrate the spirit of the drum .After I had made the drum I was called to make a painting to compliment and inspired by the spirit of the drum I had made .I now realise the painting is not only inspired by the drum I made but also by the spirit of ‘the’ drum .
Mother drum ,the world drum …the spirit of the drum .
