Authorship
Photography and direction by Simon, under the artist name Damen Hartley. Research, archive and build work in collaboration with Claw, an AI partner.
How this was made
Colophon & credits
This website is itself part of the work: a record of a human and an AI building something together. This page names the people, the process and the tools, in keeping with the project's rule that the journey should always be visible.
Method
A cabinetmaker's process — inspiration, sketch, working drawing, make — applied to photography, research and collaboration. See the method room.
Technology
Hand-written HTML and CSS, a warm museum design system, and a timeline generated from a living working record. No tracking, no third-party clutter.
Sources
Research is evidence-led and cited. See the bibliography for named, dated sources behind the Sleaford work.
Status
Local prototype, not yet published
This is a visual-direction prototype only. No GitHub, Netlify, DNS, Adobe Portfolio or public publishing changes have been made. The public launch path — review, deploy preview, rollback plan, then domain — is itself recorded as the final stage of the journey.
Contact: a public contact route (a simple form) can be added once the site is deployed and reviewed. Until then, this remains a private working build.
