Babel - theme: babble

This one is more complicated, for what, these days, is not babble. Who doesn't use text in their work? Still, if the idea is the complication of language, some take that more literally than others. Manon De Pauw, Joey Dubuc, Simon Glass, Ken Singer. Then there are the punctuators: Janice Gurney, Michael Maranda, arguably Barbara Todd... Those who make works that "speak" or "tell stories": Catherine Hamel, Denise Hawrysio, Emilie O'Brien, Marna Bunnell. And finally those who use language more directly, to tell stories: J.R. Carpenter, Ashok Mathur; or talk about art: Michelle Jacques, Jessica Wyman, Laurel MacMillan. This needs further explication. Above, an object that tells a very twisted (you had to be there) sort of story.
