Islands of Blood and Longing by Tabitha Moses 2010. Blood on paper, 72.5 x 52cm unframed.

'The islands of blood and longing were made in the days and weeks following the loss of a much wanted pregnancy. Making this map was a way of making beauty and meaning from the product of a horrific and disorientating experience. The stains of lost blood became islands which, in turn, became a chart to help me find my way. The phases of the moon counted the days while the compass brought order and direction." Moses 2012.
