Topple / After Brughel’s Tower of Babel
One of my favorite images to paint and paint again, I imagine the top of the ‘hourglass’ is the universe’s mirroring our attempt to “build up to God” . . . . the complete shape is the story of our reaching and remembering how to speak and live the language without words. One tongue, touch, move, sound, raw inter-speak. Glossolalia, squeeze through the middle and kaBloom! Lately I want to flip the shape on its side, verticality given over to horizontality of Radical Equality.
