Condition
There exist 16 variations of the engraved plates, each part of an edition of 20. There is a layer of oxidation to the exposed steel relief, which appears to be inherent to the work. Some of the plates present more prevalent oxidation than others. There are scattered thread-like red lines that may or may not be part of the work. The label in the back of the work indicates that the plates should be treated every two years to contain the oxidation process. There are scattered minimal scratches throughout several of the plates.
