Subterranea

"Here, in a series of images of the underworld taken over a four-year period in Mexcio, Belize, Southeast Asia, the U.S., and Europe, Sally Gall explores a spiritual realm enhanced by the history of early human passage, myth and spiritual transcendence." "In Subterranea, the objective universe is gone, and only the subjective remains. Eternal time is frozen in a fantastic and other worldly architecture: crumbling walls, stalactities and stalagmites coated with icy limestone and calcite formations gloaming in the darkness, bleached white as chalk. With each image, Sally Gall draws us deeper into a world forgotten. Somber and mortuary thought seems natural and right in these great spaces - thoughts of Aeneas and Charon the boatman at the mouth of Hades and the shades waiting to be rowed across to the eternal beyond - a recognition that we all come at last to darkness and silence."--BOOK JACKET.
