PAPER TRAIL #0259 is a unique 1/1 collage by Miss AL Simpson, No. 259 of 4,000.

Seven years of cryptoart history (2019–2026), cut up and laid down again.

The work contains 6 source fragments from 6 of the artist’s own works, created between 2019 and 2024. A machine built by the artist composed those fragments with a figure and ground generated using models trained only on her own drawings.

Every element began with the artist’s own work. She wrote every rule and made no cut.

Each source work is identified by contract and token ID. Each fragment and its placement order is recorded. The resulting provenance record links the finished artwork back to its source material, with machine-readable evidence supporting every recorded claim.
