This course has allowed me to stumble on some amazing
artists and photographers. While doing research for this week’s write-up, I
found Amelia Fletcher, a photographer from North Carolina. She incorporates
nature, personal experiences and her home into her artwork. She photographs
weddings, food, portraits, and also creates artistic and surrealist images.
The first photo that caught my attention was of a girl in a field standing on a ladder. She’s holding a paintbrush and appears to be painting the clouds onto the sky. I love how the photographer plays with depth perception and creates an amazing illusion.
After looking through some more of Amelia’s images, another photograph stood out to me. It’s of a girl standing in a grassy field with her arm outstretched towards the moon as if she were holding it like a balloon. I really like the whimsy behind this idea. The moon appears to be so small and light, and this girl is keeping it from floating away. This image reminds me of my favourite Banksy wall art (and current computer background) of a little girl who has let go of her heart-shaped balloon. That graffiti piece is one of a series recreated in multiple locations all over the world.
