Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the reflective nature of the fabric. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable, and all media accretions and handling marks are in keeping with the artist's working process.
