Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. All of the elements affixed to the backing board and are stable. Upon very close inspection, there are small areas of minor hairline craquelure to the pigment. The rough edges, corners, and inconsistent surface of the elements are due to the artist's choice of found materials. There are a few minor losses to the pigment on the edges and corners of the various pieces. Framed under Plexiglas.
