Three distinct forms emerge from Sillman’s arrangement of fl®®che units in this study. While the diagonal bands appear uniform throughout this composition, six horizontal breaks are noted upon thorough inspection. Sillman achieves these gaps by making some of the fl®®che forms near the break slightly smaller than the others. The deviation is difficult to perceive without close attention by the viewer, owing to the careful planning of the artist.
