Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The work is double sided. All of the collage elements are stable. Upon close inspection there is minor adhesive residue viewable along the edges of the collaged elements, due to the artist’s working method. There is a tideline to the perimeter of the work on both sides, likely due to the artist’s working method, with some associated blurring on the reverse to areas of the applied ink and pigment in the printed paper. There is evidence of light wear to some of the collage elements, due to the artist’s choice of found materials. Framed under Plexiglas in a double-sided frame.
