doors stored for later

this made me smile so thought i'd post it up.
Anyway, was just thinking about drawing this and other things like it to add to my now growing library, i think photos arent quite art yet, although quite like the idea of snaps or something similiar, anyway ......
Also after someone suggested ive looked at foucault - the order of things. i like the bit the preface which is from an old chinese encylopedia where he orders animals my favourite from the list - animals that from a distance the look like flies.
Anyway, other suggested index, lists, systems, greatly appreciated.
was looking at artemis index last week - went in on thursday was good, spent the morning with the kitchen shelves, the index is standard in some sense but also completley unique, and arranged around nigels logic. Even shirley the admin and filing lady thinks its a mad system but knows how it works so wont change it! Love it
I think theressomething in this to add to our training activites , need to think on that.........................

Library

So Kate I've being thinking about what a library is as opposed to a collection. Libraries do not have to be complete but they are repositories of information. This information does not have to be of interest or of real use but perhaps it needs to have potential use. I've just read this book about the man that made the first geological map of britain. He was involved in digging the canal system and collected samples from all the different strata and catalouged and recorded everything and found out loads of amazing stuff but he could only work this stuff out when his collection got to a certain size - a critical mass of information. The correlation I picked up between his and your library was that he didn't know what he was looking for when he started collecting he was just gathering evidence that he had a hunch would lead to something.

So I think that your friend was right and you need to just get stuck into collecting your library and it will become something and demonstrate potential use.
