February 2018
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.
Black & White dinner was the first gathering in a series of colour meals.
