The stacking principle has been applied in the sculpture ''With'. Four curved pieces of steel plate of diminishing dimensions are piled symmetrically on top of one another. In the seventies Visser made a number of works in thin, bent or folded steel plate, the final form of the sculpture being governed not only by this intervention, but also by the qualities of the material. Sometimes sagging under the weight of the material and placed loosely on each other without any firm joints, thes sculptures relativize the substantiality of the steel. In the titles too there is a certain relativization of a purely formal approach to sculpture. The title 'With' evokes surprising associations in the case of a sculpture that initially seemed just a play of forms.
