Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there is more contrast and the frame is darker in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some minute and unobtrusive signs of wear along the edges of the frame, and an associated small nick to the lower right corner tip of the frame.

Catalogue Note
“I think I make art for brave eyes. I don’t want to make art that will pat you on the back and tell you everything is going to be okay. I want to make something that’s much more confronting. You don’t look at it, it looks at you as much as you look at it.”
