In contemplation of the work '9 H-shapes' is clear that the experience of a form depends on the situation or position in which the shape is observed. This sensation was formulated by Morris as "a simple form does not necessarily coincide with a simple experience." In a varying insertion objects are affecting on the relationship between the object and the exhibition space. The 'corner' of Morris, for example, pulls wall and floor together and separates a small space located below our normal level from the exhibition space. Morris is interested in the contradiction between the form that is well-known (a cube from which a piece is removed) and the image that the eye perceives.
