Building the Underworld – the Incredible Caves of Ra Paulette

Ra Paulette doesn’t use the word, but his work strikes me as truly shamanic – using only hand tools, he carves astonishing Underworld-ish spaces into the sandstone hills of New Mexico. You can watch the CBS Sunday Morning clip below, and be sure to check out the documentary film of his work at http://cavediggerdocumentary.com/ – it’s available for rental or purchase through Vimeo for under $3.
