Bed time stories.

Abstract

Bed Time Stories is a re-telling of fairy tales, folk tales, and children’s stories, using digital photomontage of found images. The photomontages draw from a variety of reference materials—personal, historical, scientific and popular culture—to form a fractured composite of symbols. The play between the familiar and foreign, victim and aggressor, produces instances of dark irony and morbid humor that starkly contrasts the references to children’s tales in both the images and titles.
