Invoking: A Memory of a Drum, 2019


When growing up, I often had a hard time falling asleep.
I couldn´t silence the stressful thoughts spinning around in my head, amplified by the silence of the night. Some nights, my father would sit in his armchair, drumming on his handmade drum. Rhythmic. Monotonous. A deep pulsation. The sound found its way into my bedroom, becoming an anchor point for my thoughts, separating them, and the stress, from my body.
I had not thought of this for years, but this summer the drum re-entered the stage. Sitting by the fire one night, I once more heard the drum from my childhood. Happiness. A feeling of being at exactly the right place at exactly the right time hit me. A peace of mind. Feeling connected.


“A Memory of a Drum” is a part of my master’s degree project INVOKING. It is an investigation in how I, through repetitive acts and line drawing, can materialize the non-physical and open up for the nonverbal. With my work I lift the importance of contemplative spheres for nourishing philosophical experiences and perceiving a presence of magic. And also, to revalue our relationship to the unknown and the unmeasurable.
