‘Cave 2019’ via a darkened tunnel. At first one is blinded but with faith you end up inside a huge cavern and looking upwards shafts of open light give reassurance that life does exist outside, up above on the surface of the Earth. My immediate thought was of a coalmine and my father helplessly conscripted in WW2 to work in the Welsh mines and the psychological impact that had for the rest of his life. The savagery of war and all involved; victims. The insensitive bureaucracy, the totalitarianism, even of democracies in the necessary fight for survival. It was fun journeying through the sculpture, yet the mental impact was quite profound.
