Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There are scattered scratches, minor indentations and some light oxidation to the tray element, likely due to the artist's choice of found material. The collaged paper element is stable with very minor lifting, and has an irregular surface due to the artist's choice of medium. There are scattered minor discolorations to the paper, most prominently on the right side. There is a minor tear to the paper element to the right side with associated pigment craquelure viewable upon close inspection.
