A handmade object deserves a record as much as a tractor.
The Artist Reward concept applies HL provenance to creative work: paintings, furniture, ceramics, music, writing — anything made by a specific person for a specific reason.
The maker’s identity, the materials used, the date, the context, the intent — all of it travels with the object as a provenance record linked to an HL item ID.
When the work sells, the record transfers. When it’s displayed, the record is accessible. When it ends up at an estate sale fifty years later, someone can look up the maker’s name and find the family.
This is what attribution looks like when it’s built into the object from the beginning — not added later, not dependent on a platform, not lost when a website shuts down.
