LYRAH 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
When I am naked, I feel exposed and empowered. I spend a lot of my time in front of cameras and a lot of that time naked. Even more so, I spend a lot of that creative energy hiding within a 'character', playing the part of someone that I'm not or accentuating small fractions of my own personality. The exciting part of ISM is how raw and honest it is, both in nature and in physical form. I spent two hours taking images that capture the most honest parts of my physical and emotional self and it propelled me into a little wonder-world of introspection and discovery. I felt that I grew closer to myself and to the idea of how others, albeit through a camera, might perceive me. It challenged, broke down, and reconstructed my ideas of my physical beauty and made me focus on the small details that make up our intricate bodies. These details are often taken for granted when we look at ourselves and others as a whole.

ARTIST PROFILE
birthplace: Melbourne, Australia.
currently living in: Melbourne, Australia.
occupation: Front of house/Waitress.
age: 24 years.
height: 165cms short.
weight: 66kgs.
relationship status: In a relationship with a Rapskallion.
starsign: Taurus.
biggest passion in my life: Creativity in every form, relationships, food, thought, art. If you try hard enough everything can embrace creativity, even the way that you walk!
I like to listen to: the hustle of the never-sleeping city, or music with soul and challenging beats.
I like to watch: anything, person or event, that stirs, arouses, or disturbs my emotions.
I like to smell: feminine, but warm and curious with a touch of masculine.
I like to taste: guilty pleasures! People's skin, coffee, gin, cigarettes, cake, chocolate, lavish meals.
I like to feel: emotionally engaged, physically challenged, and spiritually awakened.
favourite part of my body: The dramatic dips of my collar bones, neck and shoulders. My back is quite twisted and I also like the way it curves and the muscles strain.
favourite part of someone else's body: I adore rigid lines and deep shadows, so areas like the collar bones, chest, shoulders and knees appeal to me. I also find people's veins quite beautiful.
Why i shot myself: To grow closer to my sense of self and to discover my sexuality, something that is usually interpreted as someone else's perspective, from my own point of view.
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: My grandmother. She is eccentric and wild and liberated, so I feel as if she should do it, but I cannot imagine ever wanting to view it.
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: Nick Cave! Or Scarlett Johansson, but didn't she already do that?
my website/fav website: You can follow me on Instagram (@lyrahk), but my own favourite website is Juxtapoz.com. It is an absolute hub of beauty in painting, film, erotic art and more.
Most outrageous thing I have done: There has been a few! From impulsive travel to outrageous group/public sex, I always seem to be seeking adrenaline and adventure.
Bands I like: I get lost in 60's and 70's soul, complimented with touches of Radiohead and then shaken up with sex from The Black Keys.
Books I like: The Outsider by Albert Camus or anything by the utter God, H.S. Thompson.
Films I like: Confronted, twisted tales full of erethal romance and whimsy. My current favourites are Blade Runner, Melancholia and The Antichrist.
