This painting belongs to a body of work exploring time, with the positioning of organisms separated by millennia. It questions the brevity our culture has existed on earth and how our existence is but a tiny moment in relation to the age of the planet and the creatures that existed before us. The painting also investigates the idea of power and beauty in oil painting. Equine art has a certain elitism and class culture associated with it, so the inclusion of a prehistoric dinosaur is intended to move the viewer into a state of unease at where we are going and what we see as beautiful and important.
