S E R I E S : S P E L U N K Acrylic, Paper Dimensions: 19 x 24 in. (48.3 x 61 cm) The Spelunk series is based on images from immersion inside volcanic rock. It is an investigation of available light to describe the effect of water, massive pressure, and high mineral content on the once malleable hot magma. The Spelunk series is based on exploration of a farmer's cave (spelunking) on the side of Volcan Arenal, an active volcano in Costa Rica. Fissures, crags, stalactites, stalagmites, underground rivers and lakes, tunnels, and high arched ceilings covered with bats, are remembered. From the light cast by our headlamps and our low, crawling positions on our bellies in the water, the deep shadows and reflections created striking contrasts between light and dark, detail and murk, red mud and blue reflected light.
