They were clearing out some old electronics shop, last Wednesday. And I spotted a very worn and damaged chisel. Yes I could have it. Bent, splintered and very blunt.
On Friday, fully restored and razor-sharp.
And I finally managed to make that adze from an old plane's cutting edge.

Old timber, disused doorposts, waste materials.
I turn them into carvings and masks.
It is that metamorphosis which unites both portrait and vision.
