Last Supper in Babel
2009, twelve ceramic plates, acrylic, styrofoam, wood table
Plates 10-1/2 inches diameter

Last Supper in Babel is an imagined spaghetti dinner between Christ and his disciples in the town where God confused the languages of its infamous tower's builders.

Written out in pasta, a whimsical conversion in twelve languages ensues between the twelve followers, who are waiting for the Messiah. As men do when left together, they gab about the usual - women, sports, and alcohol.

 

This work goes with Is It Kosher? and was first installed at the the Food for Thought exhibition (2009) at Galerie Quynh.
