... work in progress ...

work in progress, worked out with bridge bars, old and rusty paper clips and iron binders ec. ...
the iron waste came from the public archive and should have been thrown away; so I decided to recycle it in that way. The portrait is not finished yet and will have the size of about 100 x 75 cm in the end.
