Sculpture installed at Lolui Island, Lake Victoria, Uganda part of the Rock Music Rock Art project

Eginga Eriyimba translates as ‘Singing Rock’ and the sculpture was made as part of the Rock Music Rock Art project, inspired by the ancient ‘rock gongs’ of remote Lolui Island in Lake Victoria, Uganda. Sponsored by the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation and supported by the British Council, sculptor Peter Randall-Page, composer Nigel Osborne and members of the London Sinfonietta visited Lolui Island where they collaborated with local sculptors and musicians. Whilst on the island, Peter Randall-Page explored and absorbed his surroundings and the island’s ancient culture and created the sculpture pictured above entitled Eginja Eriyimba. On his return, the trip inspired Randall-Page to create a new body of work which formed the basis of Pangolin London’s inaugural exhibition in 2008.
