Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly richer and deeper in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the varied surface textures and different media employed by the artist in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The frayed and stained collaged elements throughout the work are original to the work's execution and are in keeping with the artist's technique.
