just stuff

was at artemis this week , looking and taking photos it was fab, empty and they are so nice and helpful.
i like how there is sucha detachment from these objects, no romance or fetish-ising [sic?] its "just a load of stuff', they have a practical relationship with the items, just like us on the farm, the value is in the use for schools and therefore job or related use with regard to past jobs such as delivery drivers previous life as engineer. im interested in this, when do we begin the romance, how does it start? Was listening to interesting program on radio 4 about value and how we could / neeed to use differetnt rational and criteria for valueing things -they were comparing the thames estuary with stonehenge - in the end stonehenge won, !!!!! but i was wondering that is it just because we know its man made a monument a symbol of continuiuty and we are connected somehow to it that it becomes more imortant, than something we had a hand in but really it does its own thing?
