HONEY DRUM PEOPLE
TH92142 · 64x4x42”h · Metal
Made from honey drums, this
wall piece tells the sweet story
of the people who collect honey
in Northern Thailand and an
interpretation of the clothing
they wear. The drums can only
be used a handful of times before
they oxidize. In repurposing the
metal, they are able to bring in
an additional source of income
beyond the bees they rely on to
produce the honey. This recycled
art is not only great on any wall,
but it also has a beautiful story
behind it.
