Materials: Eggplant, STM bus
Eggplant enjoying his city bus ride and keeping me company . . . I’d like to blame my current drift towards the limits of cultural normality on months of social isolation, but I suspect I have always been like this.

Materials: iPhone, World Book Encyclopedia, my 11 year old
I’ve devised some of my own homeschooling for my 11 year old. This is the World Book Encyclopedia Exercise. When my parents downsized, I got the complete set. For this exercise, I pick a topic, like Portugal, and type out 8 questions. She has to locate the topic and and find the answers. And she likes it! There’s a connection to little me, who used these books for research, and her grandfather, who was ALWAYS pulling down a volume for reference and is no longer with us.

Materials: Brick, electricity, Jeff Bezos’ crimes
This is a picture I took at work. I work part time at a high-end grocery store. One day when I was especially delirious from asking costumers to /please/ stand back (which they promptly wave off), I guess I snapped this photo of a strange switch in the employee bay. Something about it just typifies the cyberpunk dystopia feeling which has been pervasive of late. Glowing, austere, full of unknown consequence.
I have no idea what it does.
I did not flick it. This time.

Materials: Digital post cards
This is a brief collection of “Postcards from the Window Ledge” written by Grade 5 and Grade 6 students while in isolation. Like your project, we sought to mark the things and trends that they found captured this extraordinary period in time. It’s like a time capsule!

Materials: My dog, schoolwork
While in quarantine, I’ve been able to interact with my dog, Mylo, more because he loves attention. I’ve also been able to take breaks to help with any stress. Sometimes it does get boring but, I’ll manage.
