Il suo lavoro esplora l'intricata relazione tra natura e identità, spesso ambientata sullo sfondo di paesaggi remoti e minacciati. La scrittura di Bass è una appassionata difesa della natura selvaggia, caratterizzata da un profondo apprezzamento per il mondo naturale e un approccio contemplativo al nostro posto al suo interno.
