Condition
There are surface marks and dirt throughout that are original to the work and consistent with the medium of 'found objects'. Similarly there are several dents to the plastic jerry can that makes up the face and rust to the metal hairpiece at the top of the work and the flattened bottle cap on the side. Overall the work appears to be in its original condition.
