The Medieval Faire was a perfect opportunity to explore and dissect the systems of world-building.
As an ethnographer and observer, I took visual artifacts of the subjects in action.

>An armored league dressed in heavy chainmail, barbute, and sturdy cuirass.
>An exotic yurt decorated with Eastern treasures and glass lanterns
But there must be more to this experience that being a passive observer! I started mapping the images to the walking route of my experience. Then I attached word tags that replaced the images.
From there, I noticed patterns to make sense and meaning to this experience. There were some areas that remained true to the era, some that allowed artistic freedom, some encouraged youthful imagination, and some intensified action and entertainment. I grouped the word tags into categories of experience.
So I begin to think. Maybe this experience isn’t just any experience. Maybe this experience was my heroine's journey.
I don’t know what this means yet and I don’t know how to use this now but I feel that it is the beginning of something new. Something exciting. This was a methodology was to explore sensual perception of a living event.
