The Ravens of Knaresborough Castle

When I got back from Knaresborough I was still curious about this 'nordic nun' and her ravens. I therefore started searching the internet and it actually came up with both a website, and someone has also made and posted a short film about this woman on vimeo. I think this really could, with some more research, start to form a really interesting narrative.

Here are the links

Why is this interesting?

• I like how the woman (although she seems a bit nutty) is so passionate about her ravens. She claims that as a bird ravens are misunderstood and this is routed in our ever growing lack of connection with the natural world. I think that a lot of animals in the world are misunderstood, and as a consequence of this, as well as them inconveniencing modern civilisation, we kill or destroy these animals and their habitats. (I am passionate about this)
• On her website she describes lots of funny or mischievous stories done by this one raven, I think that illustrating this could make a humorous narrative?
• I find it funny that after watching the video on vimeo and reading the website that the initial description of this woman as a 'nordic looking nun that has tamed the ravens of Knaresborough castle'...is so not true. But I think I quite like this image of her?
• Ways to move forward? 
• contact this woman for more information on her ravens?
• Maybe while I am at home I could go to the tower of London and draw some ravens there?
• Go back to Knaresborough castle and do some more observational drawing and find out more information? 
• Look more at her website
• Start drawing!
