ngl I missread the title and thought it was the medium the medium.

"Women with pastels" and was like yeah checks out.

In any case great work. Makes me think about how even art pieces designed to be transient and ephemeral are easily made permanent with the level photography is at now, and how with the overwhelming majority of people who experience art do so through pictures of the thing, how do you make something transient be different. Heard a pottery guy on youtube mention how to save money he rarely bothers finishing the projects, not because glazing is particularily expensive, but since he records himself making the thing, he rarely feels the need to hold onto it so it lets him just smash the finished product and reuse the still wet clay.

Sure there's a really good piece of art to br made about this. Or already has been probably, I'm a historian, and not of art so shrugs
