Incubators and coffins were identified as appropriate sites for amulets…Loss is part of life…the project brought staff and patients together…real depth and purpose ……see power and meaning for them…A rare and wonderful opportunity..break new boundaries…important projects such as the Amulet …an artistic insight to aspects of maternity…The Amulets go beyond words…staff identified this project as hugely beneficial to emotionally support bereaved parents..…How (deceased) babies were dealt with in the past would have been different 

 The Amulet exhibition tour is funded through the Arts Council Touring and Dissemination of Work Award 2014
