Collaborative exhibition and book by Anne Bevan and writer Janice Galloway. Installation with nine light tables containing sculptures, material and text relating to obstetrical instruments and processes. Surrounding the light tables are poems printed on sheets of felt.

Much of the work was made in close collaboration with specialists, who became in a sense the ‘instrument or tool makers’. The work reflects and reveals some of the processes observed during the extensive period of research, which involved many visits to hospitals, collections and museums.

Supported with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Board, Edinburgh College of Art and a Scottish Arts Council Creative Scotland Award.
