Typography: Comedy Carpet



This massive installation is made up of about 2,200 square meters of floor on which Young has positioned about 160,000 letters spelling out quotes from a wide variety of comedians in various colors in granite.  It took several months for Young to convert the former factory into an installation and no small amount of research to find just the right mix of granite dust and dies to pull the whole thing off.
