Three

Three | East Wenatchee, WA | 2013

Mystery resides in threes, but nobody really knows why. The Musketeers, the Stooges, the Amigos are triangles of brotherhood — sturdy in their support of each other. Writers drive home a point most effectively with three examples, not two. And artists love to align three elements to guide the viewer’s eye and give motion to a composition. But what makes three so satisfying? One theory: Draw lines to connect three scattered points and you have enclosed space that our boundless consciousness finds soothing. A place to reside within, where the soul can nest.
