drei is an ongoing series of photographic artwork that addresses three specific aspects of Christopher Young's personal life and practice - people, place and objects. It develops concepts of context, implied narrative and space to communicate, amongst other things, darkness and danger. Images are, for Chris, inherently loaded with stories. When he sees a broken door or a crumpled piece of paper he interprets these further than simple objective observation. 'Why' and 'how' are impossible to ignore. Using very limited information and his emotional response he 'fills' in the gaps and create myths. He is interested in what or who is not there, what he can't quite see and the helplessness of not being able to 'ground' an image in a time line.

The below is the workbook of the Props concept. This essentially creates a library from which a final selection of images can be drawn. Which particular images are exhibited is highly dependent on site and personal mood.

Prices vary per print in unframed, signed editions of 10. Sizes are typically 700 x 1000mm. All images are Lightjet prints.
