“I could not imagine, without seeing it, the point of contact between two wavy surfaces meeting at right angles. To do this I took a piece of wire bent to simulate one wave then turned at right angles and bent it to simulate the other. I now had the armature for a square column. To make a painting of a three-dimensional object, I had to see it from all angles and to record its profile as it rotated.”
