Kneeling, a slender figure beats an energetic cadence on the drum. Red conveys the urgency of his message, a vital one for the entire world. Eric Danquah sculpts the abstract personage from sese wood, burnished with dark tan and mansion polish. In the Ghanaian countryside, when there is news to be told, a talking drum carries the message, he says. I name this sculpture Asomdwee Okyerema, which means 'Peace Drummer' in the Akan language, as he is telling the world that we need peace everywhere.
