#restorer

I'm training at a museum as a future museum specialist handling all kinds of tasks. Today I worked on the scientific description and attribution of an object.

I can't even put into words how tender I feel toward this alabaster bas-relief of Sappho.

It's painstaking work — putting together the most complete description possible. It's crucial not to miss anything, not a single inscription or mark, and to carefully document every crack and chip on this poor girl, so that the restorers have the solid foundation they need.

I felt such awe and love for what I do. You're preserving an ancient artifact, preserving culture, working with real art.

And thanks to my curator — a smart and cheerful woman — who argued with me over whether it was marble or alabaster. I shone a flashlight through the relief, tapped it with my fingers, and in the end, I entered "alabaster" into the database.

Restorer

drew the painting girl and my hc for who she is!! my theory is that we play as her, and the reason for the painting is because of whiteface's usual trolling (who wouldn't be unsettled by randomly seeing a painting of themself in a creepy basement?) also restorer cameo lmao
