Back in 2010, Ringelstetter’s second year of creating art, he began to dabble into different mediums and forms of art in his free time. One of the projects he played with was the recreation of earth rocks. He used different paints, stains, and drywall spackle to create the rocks. When they were finished he felt inspired to turn them into caveman paintings. He felt connected to this concept because if the world were to take a turn for the apocalyptic, he feels it would be his duty to record events, capture moments however possible, just as the cavemen did. The pieces in this series are a depiction of the world according to Ringelstetter in 2012, the year in which they were finished.
