Day 28 — A pigment that refuses to sit still
Layer eleven is a cadmium that lifts the layer beneath it every time I glaze over it. Two sessions lost to this. Keeping both of them in the record.

Fourteen layers of gouache, each one photographed before the next one buries it.
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.
No one is on the record yet. Co-owners are entered as leading bids are placed.
BID HISTORY
| DATE | BIDDER | AMOUNT | STANDING |

Holds are placed by Stripe and handed back when you are outbid. This table publishes where each bid stands; what your own card is doing is on your dashboard.

Day 06 — Layers one to four, photographed and buried
Four layers down. Each one is photographed in the same light at the same distance so the sequence reads as one thing when the lot closes.
