Sculpture: Number Banner Number 3

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 One Banner sculpture.


"
Three is a special number; there are three finishing positions in a race (1st, 2nd & 3rd),
three is also a triangular number .
Although third position is less in value than first or second, in number banner setups it is possible to make the potential value of three banner far greater than either 1 or 2 number banner values alone. There has always been something important about number 3 banner, in ancient times three was considered special. Number three banner is the sum of two or three previous number banners (0 + 1 + 2 = 3) three has the ability to represent all the previous number banners and the potential of all situations that can be played out with them.
Number three banner is strong and sturdy in appearance with a thick stake supporting it. Although
this banner can stand for previous banners it gains from being in situations with banners 1, 2 or 3 all of which are elements or parts of number three banner."

Diagrammatic Number Three 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.
