Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. Very close inspection reveals some evidence of light wear to all four corner tips, and evidence of handling to the left edge, towards the upper left corner. There is some glue residue, a few media accretions in places and the edges of the collaged fabric are frayed, which is in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of media. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
