âBody of Workâ was published 2015 by Vapour Momenta Books, the pocket-sized publishing arm of Catherine Griffiths and Bruce Connew.
âWhat Bruce Connewâs book âBody of Workâ recalibrates is the very interesting and historical metaphor of the horse. â Brad Feuerhelmâs review for American Suburb X, September 18, 2016.
âBody of Workâ was published and signed during Paris Photo 2015, first at Le Bal, November 12, and again, Friday 13, at Café Lehmitz Photobooks aboard Polycopies, just before an awful madness came upon Paris.
âIn the first instance, âBody of Workâ is about the orchestrated process of horse breeding. But, as I wriggled through the months of scrutiny, amidst the rawness of procreation, I became aware of a common anomaly in the mares being served. I came to recognise, in one mare after another, an anthropomorphic capacity to reflect. Through mournful eyes, they would make known an understanding of their peculiar predicament.â. from the afterword.
Josef Chladek included âBody of Workâ on Virtual Bookshelfâs 2015 BEST list. His tweet early December 2015 said: âOne of the most stunning and beautiful books in a long time..â
