There's nothing like pride in work, and these text message updates are just fantastic.
There are certainly not premeditated.
Once I attended a series of social sculpture talks held by
a a building developer. He spoke about how he had created an opportunity
to include forms of 'social sculpture' into the work place and how by doing so it brought out
pride in workmanship.
We outlined roughly what we wanted with Dan and left the creativity up to him,
we had a few talks about the recycling of materials
but chippies are usually masters at reusing materials.
So now its all up to the installation and then building on what we have..How very exciting!
Thanks Dan.
