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 Six Banner, which was shown alongside the Number Six Banner sculpture.

"Six is the beginning of the number banners that have a larger value.
Sixhas its own identity the phrase 'half a dozen' has human references outside of the strict number banner sequence. This is an acception to the physical traits of banner six. This banneris one of the thinnest number banners as welll as being one of the lightest.
Six is a slick number , the shape of six is similar if not the same as number 9 (it's just upside down) references to this feature have often been used in human language."

Diagrammatic Number Six 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.
