content: This bust of Abraham Lincoln is made from notes. The notes were macerated, that is, soaked in water to break them down and then converted into pulp. The remaining material was then transformed into sculpture, similar to paper-mache artwork. Fragments of the designs of national notes are visible on Lincoln’s neck.
