first blog for me

david has sent us a 'diagram for manufacturing authenticity' which marianne and i think is going to be key to our approach. but more of that another time. the idea is just too BIG for a first blog.

steve: i hope your hand is getting better. i love the thought of your daughter's toy pony in its cling-film swim suit. now where would that object belong if we had to incorporate in within a Barnsley/Rotherham/Doncaster collection?

i'm hoping this blog will provide a safe home for all those wandering thoughts. i can't seem to find anything anymore - my filing system is pitifully inadequate. We had a ferocious planning session on the train home from doncaster, (the depth-charge of the 'manufacturing authenticity' idea sparked off plenty more), but then i mislaid the scrappy bit of paper where i'd written it all down. the joys of collaboration: a week later, marianne says 'You folded it up and tucked it into the back pocket of your moleskine notebook' and there it was! So at least we have the beginnings of a plan.
