Anecdote: the depiction of a minor narrative incident in a painting – Oxford English Dictionary

 

There is a particular ambiguity contained within them [Chris’s images], a sense of subjects being essentially as they ought to be, but not entirely. Perhaps as things are during those brief waking moments, emerging disoriented from a half-remembered dream into an unfamiliar room. He presents to us his Frielesque view of the world through altered perspectives, from the shadows and peripheries, as if floating or falling – never as things wholly are. His images may unsettle, beguile, intrigue, or fascinate us, but they will never bore us. His work is about as far from the mundane as it is conceivable to get. No wonder so many fall under his spell. – Extract from the book foreword by Doug Chinnery

 

About ‘Anecdotes’

The images in this book were shot in the spring of 2020 during the first UK lockdown, in Friel’s garden. They were edited in March 2021.
