The imagery from this series has been with me since I was a student when I first visited Drumheller, Alberta and later with several trips to Dinosaur Park further south and even into similar areas in Turkey. It has taken various forms through drawing, painting, printmaking and installatio and there has always been a sense and presence of human forms and history that emerges from this awesome landscape. This is an indulgent series for me as I feel like I am really getting to what I want with no inhibitions. Under the Influence refers to this constant presence of the source - not unlike playing with a missing tooth in your mouth; no matter what you do you have to keep going back to that spot.
