“These pieces continue the idea of working with the picture plane on three dimensions by piercing or building out from it. The projections and intervals expand and contract in a controlled sequence; […] investigating the idea of open modular cubic structures.” The artist quoted in Exhibition Catalogue, New York, Museum of Modern Art, Sol LeWitt, 1978, pp. 52 and 62
