‘‘In 1960 in parallel with experiments with light and mobiles, I draw series of reliefs. At the same time, I made some of those reliefs. Sometimes I used as preference white, black and grey gouaches I painted the year before. I took back the principle of progression but this time I applied it with different levels or to the same elements (inclined plan) with 4 positions alternatively distributed to the surface. In other cases, the variation of the elements created a modulated surface. Those reliefs were rst made in cardboard and wood. The light could freely play on them changing from levels and angles. With those reliefs I experienced the implications of different elements outside the object; like the light incidence or the multiplication of the view point made possible by the displacement of the viewer.’’
