Condition
These works are in good and stable condition overall. Both elements are fitted for a European outlet and the electrical wiring is woven throughout the chain links. There is evidence of dust accumulation to the surface, particularly in the crevices of the links. The surface texture and tonal variations are consistent with the artist's choice of medium. The chain links show signs of minor dulling to the patinated surface in some areas along with scattered scuffs and scratches. Under close inspection, there is minor oxidation visible throughout and a few scattered surface accretions.
