3some

So been doing some research into the number three and its more in depth connotations. I have found a lot of potential 2nd and 3rd layer visual aspects but I think the 1st layer (more obvious signifiers) will come from acting and text.


Fish by Andy Warhol


Ice cream by Andy Warhol


Knives by Andy Warhol


Three peaches on a plate by Henri Fantin-Latour


Three trout by Klatt


Kiwi's (Unknown)

All very inspiring titles, I thought they could be good starting points for food ideas for the table in front of my character.
Other food possibilities for 3some are:
3 peas in a pod
In maths 3 is approx pi as in (3.14159) so there could be a pie
In bowling 3 strikes in a row is called a Turkey
3 little pigs (in blankets)
3 utensils (knife,fork,spoon)
3 Meals a day
The Greek word for 3 is Gamma ... or Gammon
classic Mc Donald's comes in 3's (Burger, fries, drink)

.... this is making me hungry

Also, in Latin and Roman and Chinese numerals three is this... III  so maybe certain long foods like green beans could be laid out like this (also representing three penis's (or peni)?)

A way of structuring my role within this room, it could happen in 3 sections (a trilogy if you will) a beginning, middle and end... obviously ending with a climax.

Other non-food related info about 3, but stuff that links:
Greek Mythology - 3 fates
A triangle has 3 sides (love triangle)
3 Primary colours (red, green and Blue) possible costume/lighting/make-up for my character
Sigmund Freud talks about the Id, Ego and Superego, possible character traits
Body: 3 measurements: chest, waist and hips

3 is the atomic number for Lithium, a silvery white metal (another colour to play with visually) but once it is in contact with moisture (wetness, like orgasm?) it corrodes to a dull black tarnished colour. Like the shame and guilt after having naughty sexual experiences maybe? I hope you can see where I am going with this.

Sayings:
2's company, threes a crowd
Third times the charm
Third time lucky
Luck comes in threes
Ceaser "I came, I saw, I conqured" (3 parts) also... Came or Cum?

Tri (as in three) sounds like Try ... I could play on this with regard to speech and say to the audience for instance "Just TRY it"


Hopefully you can see what I mean about this research being layers 2 and 3. With very little layer 1's here. But I hope to expand on this and work backwards  to discover ways to make the 3some theme become more obvious to an audience.
