This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges. Under very close inspection, the thickly built up surface exhibits minor pinpoint spot accretions, pinpoint white media accretions, minor abrasions, evidence of handling along the edges and pinpoints along the edges where the linen had once been stapled and shiny irregularities to the paintstick most notably in the left half of the right piece of linen. Each piece of linen is unframed.

"I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct."
