Day 22 — The seal is pressed
It stopped moving. I waited another nine days to be sure, photographed it in flat light, and closed the lot. Three people held a leading bid on this while it was unfinished and all three are on the record.

Builds plaster grounds and then lets salt take them apart on a schedule she cannot control.
FIG. 03 — THE RECORD OF OWNERSHIP
Everyone who held a leading bid while the work was unfinished is entered on the record as a co-owner of the process, permanently, and the record travels with the work.
A name appears here only while that collector keeps it published; everyone else is on the record as “A collector”. Bid amounts are part of the record either way, and no email address is ever published. You choose which you are under what is published about you.

Day 04 — Salt, and what it does to plaster
Laid the second plaster ground and salted it while it was still green. The bloom starts at the edges and works inwards, which is the opposite of what I wanted and better than what I wanted.
