The legacy of the ghost story has been vital to my investigation so far. Looking at all the reasons why they were and remain so popular has helped to inform the work I am producing. The curiosity with eerie tales and the macabre is definitely something I want to take with me as I move forward with the project. I want to continue testing and experimenting with imagery and thinking about how I can bring everything together. Printed books, paintings, and the link between have helped me to think more about the content of my work. Writing more of my essay, I am realising the importance of what I am arguing - that images can tell just as much (if not more) of a narrative as written words. Although I love written narrative as much as visual, I disagree with the opinion that text is more important. According to the well-known saying, 'a picture paints a thousand words', and even if that image stems from a piece of text, the image itself is more than capable of telling a story - sometimes even more capable, as it is culturally inclusive.
