Literature

The clear things that came out of my brain storm were Literature. I really enjoy text, language and stories. Another thing is how much I dream and fantasise and I'm heavily influenced by Tim Walker. I love Tim Walkers work and how his images seem to have a story behind them.
This has lead me to think about fantasy/fairy tale books as sources of inspiration for this project. This represents my sometimes childish nature and my vivid imagination. I loved reading tales as a child and really feel like I can show my skills well through this. I have started by thinking about popular pieces of literature.
