As some of the country’s best choirs, soloists and orchestral musicians performed a series of virtual “Breaking the Silence” concerts during Eastertide – made possible by CCLA’s Catholic Investment Fund with the aim of getting musicians and music back into churches during the pandemic – David and Mitchel wielded their paintbrushes as part of the project. “ was planned and unplanned,” explains Mitchel. “I’ve been to prison a lot and the rosary beads with the ornate cross is a recurring image in prison. I’ve been asked to draw it and design tattoos for people.” David adds: “Some of the lines of the piece are written into the picture, painted over, embedded for life in the picture.”
