"These [works] echo the endless allure of book illustration and the process of reading, not only in the content described above, but also in their technique. As children, and as adults, we return again and again to our favourite illustrated books, reading the accompanying story in pictures, or -better still- making up our own story and playing it out in images. Griebel gives us a similar freedom to imagine within the expansive boundaries of his dramas without the limitations of text.

"The [works] equally resemble old photographs, old enough that the names and occasions are lost and clarity fades around the edges. So we focus intently on the figures, trying to decipher them and their cryptic actions."

-Rory Wallace
