Handwriting Assignment
HD Video , 67 seconds, colour, 2012
In grade school I was very proud of compliments I received for my fiction writing. However, I rarely got opportunities to write in English classes. Suddenly, in grade 12, we were surprised by the teacher who told us to write a story in class. I froze. With every passing minute, I grew more frustrated and more panicked, my page remaining blank. Then I had an idea. I wish I could go back and explain that form and content needed to align. I received a zero on the story but was given the opportunity to translate it into readable writing for grades. I refused. I was such an arrogant kid.
