On returning from Europe Zika concentrated on a range of formal questions exploring the relationship between actual and illusionary space. This research was developed through a series of models and drawings with the final resolutions as painted low reliefs and related screen prints. These objects were constructivist in manner, with each plane a single colour and mechanically applied. They were primarily about our perception of form, both in the structures and in the related prints that referenced the ground plans and elevations of these forms.
