This very simple composition is made out of
a shape that repeats itself, and yet it is
imbued with a sense of time. We can see
there is order and balance and that our eye
is allowed to move freely through and
across the composition. There is no
ambiguity interrupting the flow. Movement


is created by the illusion of the overlapping
shapes moving across, down and back into
the picture plane and our sense of the
decreasing scale of the shape (perspective).
The way the shapes fall injects a feeling of
rhythm suggestive of the ticking of the
second hand of a clock.
