inspiration from a lecture

A lecture i went to the other day had alot of relivence to the idea of taking a story and translating it into a photograph but without being obvious. It also inspired me as it showed the lecturer Zoe Childerley and her thought and development from initial idea to something completely different with her work abroad on her retreat style residency. It makes me think its ok for me to change my idea and its never to late to stop one idea and move onto a next. and one of the things she said inspired me to where i can lead my project to next. 
Zoes Project begun with a briefing from the museaum services where she was paired with a writer to create a collaberation. They started off lookin at the location he wrote in and in the surrounding areas, looking at the atmosphere of the forest and the comination of light and dark (initial photos below)

They then had a chance encounter in the wood with bees being attracted to the lights and caught a photo to which the writer wrote a short peice to go with. This image reminded her of Crewdsons early work and his 'natural wonder'  collection of photos. She then moved onto images using stuffed animals lent to her from the museum services, and started to look into fables and fairytales. She got into totally creating these pictures using animals based on fables, fairytales and then moving into superstitions and later onto storys from other cultures.

what really caught my eye was a photograph she had created from superstition based around a crow/raven. which obviously made me think of this project. the relationship between poes work and that of susperstition is one thats featured highly, he uses crows, black cats, stuff that is often associated to superstitions. 

Ive really been looking for a way out of this idea and rut ive been  stuck in and i think this idea of superstitions is a good one. it links to poe and i may even be able to use someofhis quotes along with images i create.
