Condition
Upon recent inspection, the work is in excellent condition. There are remonants of clear mylar tot eh interior surface of the mylar, which is visble to the edges of the carbons ribbons. When this work was created, the mylar served as a protective coating over the mould, which in the case of the example, remains adhered to the piece and is visible to the edges of the ribbons. The nature of the material creates a feather weight structure. Minor surface dirt to the interior.
