Fishwick Papers: The "EFFIENCY!" Edition

HI GANGInteresting week or two since we last spoke! I've been up in Sydney, I've seen They Might Be Giants four times, I've been planning a wedding, and I've been moved to a different department at work. I'm now working on our new permanent exhibition, on a section that focuses on the crafts involved in making films, tv, games. There are some very cool materials in this section, and I'm enjoying wrapping my head around them. All the while wrapping my head around getting married. So yeah. Just a quiet time.Hope you're well, and don't forget to tell your friends to subscribe at tinyletter.com/fimjishwick, where you can also find an archive of previous editions. I love hearing from you, too, if you want to reply.Have a splendide weeke,jim xoxo
