All pretty maids with patience wait (2016)

An experimental video using the found footage of Muriel Orr-Ewing:

16mm Kodachrome film of Balloon Day, spring 1962. Featuring a Cornish folksong arranged by British composer Gustav Holst one hundred

years ago:

With straw I'll weave a garland, I'll weave it very fine
With roses, lilies, daisies, I'll mix the eglantine;
And I'll present it to my love
when he returns from sea
I love my love because I know
my love loves me!

All pretty maids with

patience wait
