Biographical Information
For me Beach Cave is a primordial image, one which represents, symbolically, the fecundity of the ocean, while at the same time presents an equivalent impression of the experience of being born. Masculine and feminine elements seem fused on both a physical and spiritual level within this most sublime and heroic landscape. Unlike our eyes, the camera, as it gathers light over time, can present distilled reflections of such dynamic interactions. (Harding, 1989.)
