The Bedtime Stories are over-sized, book-like objects that hang from the wall. Each "book" closes with a brass catch in the front which the viewer is invited to open as if it were a private diary, highlighting the blurred line between the public and the private.
Opening the panels of these books reveal parts of the human body and words that are sewn onto fabric in an erogenous context, commenting on our human sexual behavior and courtship.
