'Among the low-priced, factory-produced goods, none is so appealing to the sense as the ordinary hand tool.' Walker Evans 1955

The beauty of the common tool is inspiration for this abstract film. Imagery, generated by direct to film techniques and digital photography, is set in motion to an electronic score by the contemporary composer Richard Barrett.

Commissioned by S4C and Sgrin in association with The Arts Council of Wales. Made with the support of the National Lottery Fund through the Arts Council of Wales Lottery Fund.

The director worked in collaboration with Richard Barrett who was born in Swansea in 1959 and now lives and works in Berlin as an independent musician. His work ranges from orchestral compositions to improvised music with electronics, including frequent collaborations with visual artists.
