Sculpture: Number 9 Banner


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 Eight Banner, which was shown alongside the Number Nine Banner sculpture.

"Number nine banner:

Nine is a result of three multiplied by three, it represents the maximu potential of a single number banner. Three is a special as it is the first odd number after one, (see number banner three description). Since three is a historically mystical number on this 0 - 9/9 - 0 number banner sequence 3 x 3 becomes a particulary potent multiple.

The maximum value capable of being represented by the banners is nine, despite the cracking and warping of number nine banner and its thin stake, the position of number nine in the banner sequence helps nine banner it dominate the identity of this banners using its numeric value alone.
It's often tempting to use number nine banner to increase the value of an object placed near it, a situation it is a part of, or to represent the maximum value that can be obtained or simply to represent the maximum potential of all the banners. Number nine's identity is made dynamic by these qualities. Number nine banner's uniquequality is that it has the highest value of all the number banners."

Diagrammatic Number Nine Banner:


Computers were used to create diagram-style images of the number banners.
Diagrammatic Number Banners were created to embody the physical nature of the Number Banners.
Similar to Animate Objects the use of 2D laws are utilised to invoke the spirit of these objects - with the laws of Orthographic projection and similar technical drawing styles.
Six views are shown; front, back, left-side, right-side, top and bottom (six dimensions).
This is a form of orthographic projection, commonly used to describe objects before they are constructed in a workshop. This type of drawing describes the entire object and pertains to representing the real object to the point of standing in for the real object's absence.
