STRETCH QUEST, WEEK 10 [MENTAL]

For my fifth stretch quest, I decided to buy a plant from a plant store. The store, called plant, sold various succulents, ceramics, ornaments, and soils. I decided to purchase an aloe plant because of its benefits and the amount of attention that it needed.

I chose to purchase a plant for my stretch quest because I wanted to get into the habit of practicing routine. I often am inconsistent with my laundry schedule, maintaining my nails, wiping down my desk, and making my bed. Taking care of a plant would require dedication--considering the plant’s life depends on my care. This task will remind me to complete other daily tasks and perfect the art of routine.

STRETCH QUEST, WEEK 8 [MENTAL]

For my fourth stretch quest, I decided to play Little Big Planet. Why? Little Big Planet is a game that I have played when I was younger, but never completed because I did not have the patience to redo levels in which I did not receive a perfect score on. The inability to score 100% in this game has deterred me from playing similar games of this genre and from enjoying the puzzle itself.

My boyfriend and I purchased Little Big Planet 2 so that we could learn how to work as a team more effectively. He and I were both reluctant to play because he also liked to achieve perfect scores in games, as well. We had done well on the first levels and as the difficulty increased, we were unable to maintain our perfect score. We did not want to replay the levels because we knew we were thorough in collecting every item we came across.

Playing Little Big Planet 2 again was fun, but it still brought back the frustrations I had years before. I was enjoying my time while I was playing the level, but disappointment would always follow me when the non-perfect score was displayed in big, funky fonts.

Minimum of 20 items – consider colour. The photo is composed of items that are my favourite colour: pink! I used a gray background to add emphasis to the colour of the items. Initially, I had wanted to utilize a black background, but decided that black would eliminate the delicate pink colours.

BAG OF WORDS, WEEK 7

1. The word adventurous is represented as a bold route with the word solitude placed at the end to depict the satisfaction of completing a journey of enlightenment.

2. The word adventurous is presented in prominent, loud letters while solitude depicts a single entity wrapping around the flow of adventure so effortlessly.

15 to 30 items knolled in public – consider hierarchy. The photo is composed of items that I found in public. The brass-coloured grass adds to the grimy essence of the photo. Hierarchy is represented through what is obvious to find on the streets as opposed to the little items that go unnoticed.

STRETCH QUEST, WEEK 6 [CURIOSITY CONVERSATION]

For my third stretch quest, I decided to talk to my dad for the first time in five years.

My parents divorced ten years ago and I stayed with my mom. After the divorce, my dad held the responsibility of spending time with me every Sunday. A month into this routine, he had stopped showing up at our house to pick me up. It had turned into meeting him once a year to not meeting him at all. Because of this, I resented my dad for not thinking about me. I had held this grudge until this day.

When I met to talk with my dad, it was unfamiliar. He was unable to respond to my words and only smiled and the things I said. When I embraced him, he hugged back just as tight, but there were still no words exchanged. It overwhelmed me. I felt like crying after the exchange even though he had not said anything, and yet I also felt a weight lifted from my shoulder.

Even after meeting my dad for the first time in a while, I still am confused if I don’t know how I feel or if I’m just neglecting the reality of my emotions.

50 items – consider repetition. The photo is compiled of polaroids that I have taken in the past year. I chose to use a white background because I wanted to add emphasis on the photos and the grid. The grid presents balance and unity between the objects.

TYPE SKETCH, WEEK 5

Two letters in the same typeface, both small case, where the letterforms extend beyond the square, thus being made partially invisible. Use graphic pens.

Different 20 items that somehow change the meaning of Valentine’s Day – consider metaphor. The photo is compiled with items that represent beyond the superficial elements of a relationship. This does not apply to personal experience; I wanted to try and think about it from another perspective. The black background represents the darker side of a relationship and the emphasis on the books represent an emphasis on mental capability.

TYPE SKETCH, WEEK 4

Two letters, one capital and one small case, one drawn in Rockwell Reg. and one in Meta Reg., using a fine-tipped graphic pen.
