Lijn made the original works in 1995, painting mahogany cones in repeating layers of innumerable colours. She called these works Striped Cones, in memory of two such cones she had made in cork in 1965. The early cork cones were exhibited in 1966 in In Motion, an Arts Council touring exhibition of kinetic art curated by Guy Brett.
