In the second half of the 1950s Chryssa experimented by creating different sections of work. She creates the well-known "Cycladic books" and explores all the possibilities offered by the materials she uses. She works on compositions with mould-form castings. On flat surfaces she places without order embossed letters made of plaster, while on others she places them next to each other in superimposed rows. Gradually the proposals of the moulded works evolve, with plaster and metal as the main materials. However, she no longer places letters, but inserts, small plastic forms, reminiscent of machine keys, which she arranges either freely or symmetrically, forming letters or arrows, and sometimes the work itself has the shape of an arrow, as in the case of the work Untitled (Arrow), from the collection of the MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art.
