the concept:
Nine female artists to work on a project for nine months, creating nine artefacts. By keeping tight restraints on the box and contents we should produce a diverse and cohesive body of work.
the brief:
Imagine you find a small box in the attic, on opening it you discover nine artefacts. Where did they come from - how old are they - who did they belong to - what is their story?
the restraints:
These are the artefacts we elected to use:
1) doll or similar toy
2) bundle of letters/cards/photos etc
3) a heart
4) needle case OR pin cushion
5) personal item of clothing
6) all that remains of a set of something
7) a lucky charm/ amulet / icon
8) a rattle or baby toy that makes a noise
9) a memento of a significant event
One of these things should be a piece of jewellery
