The basis of the work Bedtime Stories is a vintage children’s blanket.

The fabric is thin and has been mended several times. It must have been an important companion over many years. The blanket tells the fairy tale of Hänsel und Gretel, a popular german bedtime story in with a surprisingly brutal plot: two children are abandoned in the forest by their parents and fall into the hands of a witch, who intends to fatten them up and eventually eat them.

The red drops on the blanket connect the patches and wounds in the fabric with the brutality of the story.
This work deals not only with Hänsel und Gretel and the question of how appropriate the message is today, but also with all the other stories we keep telling ourselves and each other over and over again — and with how brutal and hurtful the things we hold on to as a society can be.
