Heads that were formed by laying cotton gauze over a rusting image.  These images were created by laying a piece of cotton gauze over a rusting image on salted wood.  The fabric is wetted and salted over a period of days, causing the rust to be drawn up into the fabric.  Once finished, the fabric is then stretched onto a wooden stretcher.
