Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of surface dirt and a few loose threads in places all of which appear inherent to the artist's choice of found materials and working process.
