Lissy Laricchia is the first artist i am looking at. Laricchia is a Canadian photographer, in 2011 and 2012 she took part in the project called '365'. in this, the photographer had to take a picture everyday for a year the represented that day. at first try she did not complete the full 365 days, however when attempting again succeeded and finished.
after the project she then went travelling documenting her adventures using her camera and uses Facebook as a platform for her followers to view her work. Laricchia has had work published and appeared on CD and book covers, photography and fashion magazines.

I've learned to sleep with one eye open

Laricchia work ranges in themes and ideas used, for example she did a series of photographs using eyes and placing them on different places on the human body, this collection was called ' I've learned to sleep with one eye open (Especially if you're near)', she used the series to express her feelings about trust issues and venerability in relation to herself. I think the photo is trying to reflect the feeling of being watched, I find the picture quite creepy and unsetteling having the eyes photoshopped onto the hands, its unusual. I also find it very creative in the way that as well as the picture, the name gives it a outline of a story or more information into the meaning of it and why she did it.  This collection was released on Facebook over a long amount of time.

The photo above 'Dust in the wind' is from her portfolio collection on her Facebook page, I chose it as it relates to my intention of using the flour technique. The photo makes me think of sleeping as if the model is dreaming, the white of the powder makes it feel pure. However through research I was unable to find out if the photo 'Dust in the wind' was part of a project she took part in, how she did it, or the meaning behind the photo. Also shown in her portfolio collection are some photographs using levitation, which also relates to my theme of gravity and I could use as inspiration in future shoots.
