The Tower of Babel

ALAAB HUN. This is by Anne-Maree Hunter. So far, I think it is my favourite.
I loved this book! It absorbed me for ages, opening and closing it, and setting it up, making it bigger and smaller. It is a real tactile experience. I tried to make something like, and that kept me entertained for hours as well. I recommend viewing this book for a real Artist Book experience.

It has been digitised in the catalogue, so you can see it before you see it. It is a tall round table, that is printed and overprinted with habitations of humans over the ages, and different stages of the development of writing, and writing in different cultures.
