This video is a collaboration with Joy Bonfield Colombara who is a goldsmith based in London.
The piece was filmed in Kyoto when we were in residency there, and it responds to the ritualistic movements and aesthetics linked to the tea ceremony.
It serves as a prologue to Joy's piece Hairburushi which is a surreal object, half paintbrush half keepsake, with a lock of her own hair.
It was filmed on a sony alpha 7ii, one light and one black cloth to create the ambiance in November 2018 in Kyoto Japan.
All postproduction colour correction and edition in London January 2019.
