This double spiral delves into the neolithic site below ground and emerges with information about the mythic meaning of the images that the people here painted on the walls of their homes. Catal Hoyuk is important because it is the earliest example we have discovered of paintings made on human made walls. Scientists hypothesize that the images may have spiritual significance.
Who are those people on the spiral?

The resident archaeologists are making the spiral their own, drawing images, placing objects and even making mud handprints on the substrate.

I carved and printed multiple woodblocks made on handmade paper from plant material gathered in the field. All the imagery depicts geometric images from the original wall paintings.
