Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of handling along the edges including minor creasing at the bottom. There is a slight undulation to each photograph, inherent to the artist’s working method. Under close inspection, minor scratches scattered across the surface are visible. In the upper left photograph, there are several indents visible. Between the right and left upper photographs, a 1/4 in. piece of tape is present. Minor discoloration is present in the lower left corner. The photographs are sewn together by the artist and hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
