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.
