containment brief

I love the quilts produced by Tracey Emin and her use of text to convey her feelings, so decided to use fabric in my piece to create a wall hanging. I made a copy of my brothers baby's scan picture and used kodatrace to transfer it on to the silk screen i also made a card stencil of a tree ( to represent the tree of life) and again transferred the image to a screen. I wanted the piece to "contain" the baby and also to "contain" a personal message from me to her. My brother and his partner share a love of all things Italian so i thought a message stitched in Italian would be a nice idea, I also included found items, materials such as beads and ribbons. The finished item could be a commercial product , it would be a bespoke art work that could be added to over time ( with details of the child's life as it unfolds) i have not found any similar products on the market but quilts or wall hangings with a child's name on them retail at an average of £250.
