Number
banners have been used to explore issues of time and motion.
Their dynamic qualities are shown to their greatest extent when
they are used in conjunction with cardboard arrows.
Number Banners do not just act as dynamic tools; they have a
personalities of their own. Below is a description of Number
Three Banner, which was shown alongside the Number Five Banner
sculpture.

"Being
near the centre of the number sequence (0-9 or 1-0, if you discount
0, 5 is actually at the centre) number banner five has an element
of potential stability in its personality.
Since number five banner represents half the value of the total
number of banners number five banner has an inherent reference
to the physical nature of the banners as a group. |
This quality (being able to symbolise an element of the nature
of all banners. This is something all banners can potentially
possess) draws atention to the ability of the numberbanners to
represent themselves. This is a more insular purpose for these
tools but can prove to be useful to an operator or viewer in banner
setups. five banner is a physically sturdy looking banner with
a value halfway up or down the number banner scale, five banner
is a useful tool.
Set in the centre of the single numeric sequence, number five
banner can represent all before it, or after, exploring or whether
the sequence runs 0 - 9 or 9 - 0.
As the number value of numerical number banners increases they
become more sophisticated, moving away from the more elemental
lower number value of the banner scale." |

top and bottom (six dimensions).
This is a form of orthographic projection, commonly used
