Responsible description
Contemporary makers change design, markets and materials while preserving or reinterpreting techniques. An object image requires separate checks of photographer, object holder and licence.

Chronology
Chronology does not apply. A living cultural practice does not reduce to one linear chronology; specific records, editions and recognitions are dated.
