"Collaborating with Keith Gattie to craft my personalized drum was an extraordinary journey that surpassed all my expectations. From the moment I shared my vision of incorporating a raven and a whale into the design, Keith's attentiveness, creativity, and passion were palpable as he brought my ideas to life.The drum he meticulously handcrafted for me is simply breathtaking. Executed with meticulous attention to detail and employing his special coloring techniques, it exudes beauty and masterful craftsmanship in dancing lights. The use of hide, sourced from a special place as Keith informed me, imparts a unique resonance and depth that resonates with me as a musician on a profound level.What truly distinguishes this drum, however, is the voice it carries. Keith enlightened me on the traditional significance associated with its size and design, which aligns with feminine symbolism, contrasting with larger drums. Through his guidance, I've developed a deep appreciation for the profound connection between myself and this instrument, transcending mere aesthetics.I am eternally grateful to Keith for his skill, dedication, and insight throughout this collaborative process. My personalized drum is not merely an instrument; it's a masterpiece that resonates with my soul, enriching my musical journey beyond my wildest imagination. Thank you, Keith, for crafting something truly extraordinary."
"Working alongside Keith Gattie on the Kwiinwining - In the Community project was a truly transformative experience. As a representative team lead from the library within the Richmond Hill community, I had the privilege to witness the unveiling of this remarkable installation at the Richmond Green Branch of the Richmond Hill Public Library. Keith's visionary approach, coupled with the remarkable talent and dedication of the student artists from the York Region District School Board, has culminated in a breathtaking masterpiece that authentically embodies the spirit and culture of our community.
Keith's leadership and expertise were instrumental in facilitating a collaborative process that seamlessly integrated diverse perspectives, ensuring that every voice was heard and honored. His profound respect for Indigenous traditions and his unwavering commitment to fostering meaningful connections within both the school and broader community were evident throughout the entire creation process.
Kwiinwining - In the Community stands as a testament to the profound impact of art to unify, inspire, and celebrate diversity. It transcends being merely a static piece of art, evolving into a living representation of our shared heritage and collective aspirations. I am deeply grateful to have been part of this incredible journey and eagerly look forward to the enduring impact it will have on future generations.
Thank you, Keith Gattie, for your tireless dedication, boundless passion, and unwavering commitment to creating art that transcends boundaries and speaks directly to the soul."
