Hansel and Gretel

February 7, 2008 by Nicholas Hedges

Having worked on the Dreamcatcher installation, I have started researching another idea based on one centred around the story of Hansel and Gretel. This idea which is in itself a story, has become an installation through my working on the Dreamcatcher, in particular through the papering of drawings onto the walls. To me these drawings when pasted onto the walls reminded me of a child’s bedroom and this subsequently tied in with the idea of the fairytale. I thought if I reworked the drawings and drew them with coloured pencils, the overall effect might be more powerful.
