Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. All of the collage elements are stable and well intact. The surface irregularities, including some minor indentations to the collaged aluminum, are consistent with the artist’s working method and choice of medium. There is some minor oxidation evident around the edges of the aluminum and metal grommets. Under close inspection, a few of the grommets are missing and there are some fine scattered surface scratches noted. Framed.
