The Verbeke Foundation Belgium 01.11.2018 – 07.04.2019.
In ‘Cavern’ a ritualistic scene is encountered, the everyday world is separated from a sacred space. Entering the uncanny darkness we return to the source, to a place of primal power and come face to face with our own mortality and origin. The work does not offer closure or codification, but rather a merging of an imaginative with a physical space.

There is a strong psychological undercurrent in this work, we feel the pull of familial bonds, traces of memory and the order of time. All these elements combine to weave a portrait of the turf cutter who rhythmically continues his task which ordinarily mundane, becomes a thing of ritual beauty.

The work is a visual poem about self-acceptance. Fleeting as the snow which falls in winter, we disappear, but our subsymbolic connectivity continues through time and space.
