This work is in good condition overall. All collage elements are stable, with some minor evidence of adhesive residue to some of the collaged areas. There is time staining to the board and adhesive tape. There is some scattered stray media and minor rubbing resulting from the graphite due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. Under very close inspection, there are some scattered pinpoint accretions to the surface, particularly viewable to the adhesive tape. Under close inspection and with raking light, there is some minor scattered wear to the board in the 4 corners and their surrounding areas. Framed under Plexiglas.
