The ArcelorMittal Orbit near completion

Chris Dorley Brown

Large compressed charcoal drawing of the ArcelorMittal orbit - The Olympic Tower - near completion. I made a number of drawings and sketches of the Orbit through different times in it's construction. This final piece concentrates on the end of its construction, but I have put in different elements throughout this period, it has a feeling of being a diary of its building process, a history of the tower.
