Statement and Story
A short film by Toddy Stewart (2020)
This beautiful short film is a collaboration between filmmaker Toddy Stewart, the painter Yuri Shimojo, and composer Aki Onda, commissioned by Praise Shadows Art Gallery. Toddy donned his protective equipment and joined Yuri in her studio in the East Village, her art having momentarily evolved into a sustained prayer for the environment, the state of the world, and her own creative process during a time of pandemic quarantine. A film as a meditation on a single morning’s work.
Composer: Aki Onda
