Lighten up, babe – things will only get better. But things don’t generally get better – physics says so. Look how they shine / Your skin and bones is a tragicomic with bad taste - it’s less about things getting better and more about things getting weird. Look how they shine comprises 73 yellow fabric patches assembled into a tapestry – a kind of diary entry, an essay on happiness. Yellow is happy. Yellow is an angry baby’s face in the sun, stars twinkling. Coldplay know about yellow. Your skin and bones sees four masked people playing and crying in the grass. They want you to know, if you can’t laugh, you’ll cry, and you might cry until you laugh.
