“Along the windy path, within the hedgerows, playful field birds hop from branch to branch, safe inside their enigmatic labyrinth of gnarly spaces in-between occasional red berries vibrating with a rich alchemy. I dream to be here, and photographs become dreams as I rise up over hills, feet drenched in wet grass, side by side the curious farm animals peeping out from sleeping fields.”

These photographs were taken between September and December 2012 and represent a period of upheaval and huge changes in Chris’s life and circumstances. In essence, they recall Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr’ epigram, “Plus ça change…” meaning, “The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same”.

Exhibition runs 5th July - 27th August. Dimbola is open Mon-Sun, 10am-5pm.
