Ancient Temples

IMG_8209

This is underneath the church of S. Nicola in Carcere, dating back to 250B.C these are very old stones. You can see the pillars of 3 temples that have been on this spot. I get permission to spend a few hours down in this space yesterday and made my first 2 underground paintings, which are just a starting point. For me the purpose is to really look and take it all in. Only three other people came down and weirdly I didn’t feel spooked being on my own, sort of felt at home quite quickly, and sort of surprised no one came to check what I was actually doing.
