Babel

2014

plaster, metal

124" x 36" x 36"


“Babel” is a towering installation of perfect and imperfect cast plaster teeth. The effort is an exposition of human communica-tion — the subsequent culmination of the Genesis story. In it, the entire human race, speaking one common language, sought to make a name for themselves by building a seemingly unattainable structure — a tower that would reach into the heavens but ended with dispersion and confusion for perpetuity.
