Eight skittles feature on an English Landscape. Seven of the figures are accompanied by shadowy players whilst a coffin makes its last journey towards the water-tower on the horizon.

Handicap-Catch played with skittles is a prophetic game in the film Drowning by Numbers. Here the order of play, the trajectory of the skittles, the sex of the players, the geometry of the game's winding-sheet and the cabalistic nature of the numbers involved provide material for rumination and speculation.
