Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly bluer in the original, and it fails to fully convey the sculptural quality of the work. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's choice of found materials and working process. Close inspection reveals a fine layer of superficial dust that has adhered to the protruding elements of the work. Further close inspection reveals some minute chips to the extreme edges of the panel and some tiny media accretions in isolated places throughout. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
