His most recent work, "Under the Influence," examines the place of the "SELF" within a social context. In his position as social commentator, the artist is subject to cultural criticism which becomes a dynamic cyclical relationship: the artist responds to criticism by producing more work which is then subject to further criticism. This series of self-portraits depicts the artist as a participant in this symbolic relationship.
