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

| "As
an object, number two banner is a single entity, but with you
(a viwer or operator) a second object or tool is present. The
action of a tool requires two parts; the artwork and a vendor.
This banner can become involved in this viewer-object situation,
whilst continuing to represent it. |
|
This
tool is often used in conjunction with number one banner, creating
a simple one-two banner situation - the most elemental example
of a banner setup. Number zero banner can be introduced without
intrusion, creating
a total of three banners but leaving the total numeric value
unchanged.
Number two banner can be placed near an object or any other
tool. Setting its value andis particularly useful in pair situations
(Shoes, Gloves, bicyle wheels , etc).
Through its involvement in item situations number two banner
can truely be said to be an authentic and unique tool. When
number two banner is used to represent the dynamic and physical
values of other items it utilises its numeric properties - the
ability to embody a couple and its position in relation to all
the other number banners.
The simple
addition of a second unit to number one banner situations creates
a value that only this tool can represent."
