Infinite Threads is a collaboration between photographer Chris Collister and poet Jeff Price.
This collection of poetry and photographs represents a dialogue between their two art forms. Chris provided Jeff with a number of his photographs and Jeff wrote poems inspired by the images.
Jeff says “I have always been a fan of Chris’s work since I first saw some of his photographs in an exhibition 10 years ago in the South West of France; he sees the everyday in highly imaginative ways and I felt there was something poetic about his images which I wanted to capture” .
Sometimes like the photographs, the poetry is almost dreamlike and at other times it reflects the humour often found in Chris’ images.
The result is twenty nine images and poetry inspired by them.
