February 2018

We started out with a series of colour-coded meals
and the first one was a dinner in Black and White.
Food, drink, ceramic plates, bowls and cups.
All in the colour of nil and all.
The arbitrary limit in colour made us come up with
a long list of ingredients that are
black and white naturally.

The candle holder held the melting white wax
like a tarnished aqueduct
while we spread powdery mess of spots on the
black tablecloth, having fun,
making Tang Yuan.

Last thing we did was stitching onto the cloth,
marking the wet, oily, dry, floured traces left behind.

Later on, we talked about how it was fitting
to have set out in Black and White, somehow.
And it happened to be around Lunar New Year.
