Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The scattered signs of wear, such as scratches, rust, and paint losses, are inherent to the nature of the found materials and the artist's process. The joins and welds all appear to be sound and secure. All welds and joints are intact. As is to be expected in a work of this construction, the work is slightly dusty overall, primarily in the deepest folds and crevices.
