Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to a foam core backing. The collage elements are stable, and held to the paper support with pins. The collaged paper collage has pinholes and is torn along the edges due to the artist's working method. There is pale time staining, light wear and undulation to the printed sheet due to the artist's use of found materials. There is a soft crease at the center of the sheet, also due to the artist's choice of found materials. Under very close inspection, there are some very minor surface accretions and dust accumulation to the surface. Framed under Plexiglas.
