Clean and Crisp

Recently I attended an interior design show in Toronto. I really felt like a fish out of water while I was in the building. However there was a lot I got lot of the day. there were a lot of new materials that I learnt about and on one side of the hall artists had rented individual places to show their works. My old classmate Joon Hee Kim was by far my favorite, not just because I think shes awesome, but because her work is ahead of the times. The large booths were designed by companies with lots of investment in the current fashions of the time. I did notice that underpinning the crisp nature of the "rooms" were ornate decorations that worked very well in the pristine kitchens.

the thing before purgatory

Now that the first semester of school is finished and I've learnt a lot about what what I am doing is about, I'm proper excited to get on with the next. 






This work comes from a number of very personal places that I don't like to wright about, however they matter. 


When I'm putting these things together. I'm remembering what I was doing with my life before school took over. When I was 12 I began participating in a Medieval Re enactment group called the Society for Creative Anachronism SCA. I learnt about history, dedication, ownership and ethics. I chose to adopt a 13th century  Mongolian persona. I chose a name, Gajin Suren and I have made or acquired objects associated with it. 


This video was taken When I was 19 at an event in Pensilvania. I'm in the Yellow, at the end of a very hot and exhausting day of training.
