Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are inconsistencies to the surface of the sculpture which appear inherent to the artist's working method. There are minor dust accretions on the surface of the silicon. This work is accompanied by its original crate, which should remain with the piece, but does not require it when on exhibition.
