Gradual Reduction to Bone probes the animal of us through the exploration of living entities, the repeated looping of time, the dogged wounds we inflict on our environment, and the creation/destruction duality. Imbued with a contemporary-gothic atmosphere, crows float elegant in rigor mortis; pregnant vegetables strain to burst; mother shifts from deity to monster to mortal; invasive species invoke spectres; plants sooth metamorphic incantations. And bones - be them fractured bed frame/dismembered paw/spine of ancient chestnut/Earth's ribs cranked open/a child's snapping as she falls - dwell beneath the flesh of the pamphlet.
