New York (full stop drawing)
1999
A meticulous and obsessive rendering of the word "New York" repeated endlessly across the surface of the work, accumulating into a dense, textured mass that simultaneously evokes the overwhelming energy of the city and the reductive power of language. Banner's signature "full stop drawings" collapse narrative and image into pure text, challenging the boundaries between writing, drawing, and meaning. The work transforms a simple act of inscription into an overwhelming visual and conceptual experience, where language becomes both subject and material.
