Hi Rob
> 1. A timeless artefact is one which would not go quickly into or out
of fashion. It is sometimes an original design which successfully meets
some unchanging need or desire or an object which mimics some natural
form.
It may be pedantic to point this out but Kristina's first request
was for us to address 'what timeless-ness is NOT'.
> 2. A Porsche 550 spider, a golf ball, the Sydney Opera House.
This list seems to assert a set of personal values and I suspect you
may be being sarcastic here...so forgive me for not being able to fully
detect this... but what on earth is 'timeless' about a golf ball?!!!
Since when has a golf ball addressed an 'unchanging need or desire'?
> My best shot.
was a hole in one????
all the best,
Mark
