Original Recipe Text
The artist paints calligraphic word/image on the faces of a double-sided North African drum that would normally be struck during use (p. 65, 66).
Evidence
"Double Membrane Drum (1998, wood, skin, pigment, synthetic material, metal, 67 x 47.5 cm)"
Remarks
By painting the faces, the drum is transformed into a 'silent sculpture' and renounces its particular voice as part of a multiplicity of resonances (p. 65). It becomes a symbol of cultural pluralism and 'total art' (p. 65).
