DescriptionView of a cave with single human figure.eMuseum Notes
One
of Myers’ primary themes as an artist has been the interactions between human beings
and their environment. This is one of her earliest treatments of the subject,
taking us back in time to imagine a world in which our ancestors lived more
closely connected to the earth and its rhythms.
