I often group photographs in triptychs. My earliest connection to the number three started in Sunday school with the idea of the Holy Trinity. A bit heavy handed and punitive, but I have to admit this early training came in handy studying Renaissance art in college. Later in graduate school my collaborative partner, Peter, and I started to research fairy tales and again, the number three is prevalent...three little pigs, three wishes, Goldie Locks and the three bears, etc. In composition three is consistently stable like tricycles, triangles, and tripods. The triptych seems balanced and secure like a built in set of book ends to hold together the composition.
