Cave Art

 

I am very interested in visual communication and visual literacy, as you may have gathered.  The origins of our capacity to create images is a fascinating area of research that has involved me in various projects, one of which is the examination of cave art.  Some have characterized cave art as primitive, but there is a great depth to the style and intriguing questions—why did they do it? What was its purpose?  We may never know the answers to these questions except within the confines of speculation.
