Gerald Davies made *Caves II* in 2005 as part of a drawing series about exploring underground spaces. He studied old cave sketches by J.M.W. Turner, then visited real caves himself with a guide. The drawings came from his trips to places like Yordas Cave near his home. Davies focused on the strange feelings caves gave him—darkness, discomfort, even fear. He spent a year drawing in deep potholes, clipped to ropes for safety. Check out more cave drawings by Gerald Davies at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
