Series Five was composed in 2015, and after completion, the stored artwork was damaged when a water pipe burst from the winter cold resulting in the acrylic plaster finish being completely soaked After drying the sheet with high powered fans, the Venetian plaster finish was salvaged with little visible damage. Almost all Venetian Cards in the series shows little evidence to its storied history.
Though, Series Five Venetian Cards edges curve together more than any other Series, that is the result of the substate being a lighter gage weight than other Series, and not from water damage.
