Condition
All of the elements are original and functioning- including the original working Swiss motor, and light fixture.
The work has recently been re-conditioned by the Artist in her studio. Some of the adhesive elements have yellowed slightly.
The work is currently held on a wood and felt base, which is slightly dirty and chipped in one or two places.
