To construct the cave interior I used inch thick Styrofoam to make a bowl shape. Pieces of Styrofoam were attached with Tacky glue and held together with tooth picks. The interior was covered in a thin layer of paper clay .
I decorated the back wall with a mandala with a dragon motif in the center. Instead of adding paper clay on top of the dragon design I used a flat headed tool to push the paper clay back to shape the dragon relief and the letters.
The base of the piece was a 12 by 14 sheet of one inch thick Styrofoam.
In the center of the cave is a stone table dressed by Todd Krueger with a scull, a candle and other useful items. It was attached to the base and surrounded by a floor of paper clay before the the cave was set in place.
This is a view of the interior through the cave door. A root growing through the roof of the cave hangs down behind the table. Leaves have blown into the cave to litter the floor.
