2025 | BABEL CABINET | INSPIRED BY THE STORY OF BABEL, THIS CABINET QUESTIONS THE IDEA OF A SINGLE ORDER. ITS FORM RESISTS OBVIOUS LOGIC, INVITING MULTIPLE READINGS AND PERSPECTIVES.
ARTIST STATEMENT
INSPIRED BY THE STORY OF BABEL, THIS CABINET LETS GO OF HANDLES, HIERARCHY, AND FIXED LOGIC.
WHAT APPEARS RESTRAINED AT FIRST GRADUALLY REVEALS A QUIET DISSONANCE; SHIFTED PLANES, INTERRUPTED RHYTHMS, AND A DELIBERATE IRREGULARITY.
EVERY LINE AND SURFACE PARTICIPATES IN A MULTI-VOICED STRUCTURE. THERE IS NO PRIMARY VIEW, NO SINGLE WAY TO READ THE FORM. THE CABINET FUNCTIONS WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS, REFUSING TO EXPLAIN ITSELF.
RATHER THAN COMMUNICATING ONE MESSAGE, IT HOLDS MANY. LIKE BABEL, IT ACCEPTS CONFUSION AS A FORM OF MEANING. NOT A FAILURE OF ORDER, BUT A DIFFERENT WAY OF UNDERSTANDING IT.
