Watch a silversmith cast a spoon using Delft clay, pouring molten sterling silver and annealing it until it glows dark orange. Interwoven with the technical steps are lyrical verses about strangers and longing, creating an unusual blend of craft tutorial and poetic meditation.
Look in my eye socket. There's no time to be prudent.
I let you kidnap my tongue.
I let you measure my waist and intensify your—
take us higher than high. Cut on me, cut on me.
Take me to the edges of you.
Every little inch of my skin, baby, I will let you in.
Cuddle me, cuddle me, take me to the edges of you.
Every little inch of my skin, baby, I will let you in.
Ooh.
This is Delft clay on a marble surface. This is recycled sterling silver. This white powder is flux. It will help the sterling silver to flow.
stranger to me now. You are just a stranger to me now. A stranger to me now. Have you forgotten?
I know where you've been. I've tasted all your sin.
It doesn't make a difference to me.
You came into my life. We've crossed the other side. Now we can't turn back.
You call it wasted time. My heart's still on the line.
I am still in love. There will never be a love for you like me. So Peace.
This ancient flame that won't burn out.
I say your name, I scream out loud.
I call on the rain 'cause I'm in a drought. You are still my king. I'm holding Am I just a stranger to you now? A stranger to you now? Am I just a stranger to you now? A stranger to you now?
Have you forgotten I know where you've been? I've tasted all your sin.
It doesn't make a difference to me.
You came into my life. We've crossed the other side. Now we can't turn back.
You call it wasted time.
My heart's still on the line.
I am still holding This annealing process is taking much longer than usual because the room temperature is a about 0 Celsius, which is 32 Fahrenheit. When the spoon glows dark orange, it's ready. It's much easier to see this in the dark. Annealing the silver spoon will reduce the hardness of the metal to make it more workable. It's left in the open air to cool down. It's freezing cold outside and takes only 5 minutes to get down to skin temperature. Because the silver is very thick at this stage, it actually takes an entire hour to cut the spoon shape out. Showing it in time-lapse mode speeds up the process. The hammering started at 8 AM in the morning. At this point, it's 8 o'clock again. Again, but in the evening, outside is pitch black.
The first snowy day, I will melt away cuz I'll be with you. Thanks for watching.
