Lot Essay
'For Banner, text is both semiotic and sculptural; it is a means of
communication and a malleable medium. The composition of
sentences and the writing of those sentences as blocks, shapes,
statements and narratives of varying sizes - is co-joined in her
practice with the ways in which these texts may be displayed,
installed and, subsequently, read. To experience Banners art is this
to engage at a visceral, disarmed level with the basic processes of
looking and seeing'
