With the launch of the companion book to our project, we expect some individuals to have noticed its existence. Excitement is growing and with any luck our first Monument will be unveiled on the 17th of February. By keeping our nose close to the ground we have uncovered a striking and unusual character from Wellington's chaotic beginnings prior to the 19th century. We hope to adorn a popular thoroughfare with a monument to this "Pastoral Flaneur" as striking as that from the school of Permanent Monuments in our sister city to the North. Further submissions are being made to the cities planners and so we leave you for now, hoping you will return for further elaborations.
"We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ... a roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace."
F.T.Marinetti - Futurist Manifesto 1909
