What to make of her

I don’t buy a lot of mid-century abstraction

Scratch Made Folk Art WW1 Style Triplane/Seaplane Hiram Campbell Merrill sketch What to make of herThis is an inventive creation made from scratch (scrap!) by someone who knew how to make stuff!

Great from every angle, it would be a nice one actually see floating in the breeze,
