Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. All of the collaged elements are well intact. The collaged sheets are hinged on the reverse to the backing board. There is time staining noted to both sheets. The top and bottom edges of the top sheet are deckled. There is a soft horizontal crease running the length of the back sheet, likely inherent and due to the artist's choice of media. The right edge of the back sheet is irregularly torn, also inherent. Framed under glass.
