Luminous Caves by Ra Paulette

"My final and most ambitious project is both an environmental and social art project that uses solitude and the beauty of the natural world to create an experience that fosters spiritual renewal and personal well being.  It is a culmination of everything I have learned and dreamed of in creating caves. A mile walk in the wilderness becomes a pilgrimage journey to a hand dug, elaborately sculpted cave complex illuminated by the sun through multiple tunneled windows.  The cave is both a shared ecumenical shrine and an otherworldly venue or presentations and performances designed to address issues of social welfare and the art of well being.”
