| "'The Tower of Babel' may not initially appear to be a book, it is rather more like a sculpture, which the viewer/reader can circle. I coined the term 'Babel Book' to describe this book structure because of its physical appearance of a tower; in this case the Biblical tower of Babel. It combines a scroll turned on its end with a concertina book that can be extended. 'The Tower of Babel' represents some of the world's architecture on its front page while the internal back page had the story of the tower of Babel in the many languages. These have been over-printed to reflect the babble of the tower builders when speaking their native language made communication difficult. Personally I'm intrigued to hear or see different languages in type. A person's language holds so much history." Anne-Maree Hunter | |
