works on paper

Lotta’s works on paper appropriate adulthood, childhood and the pension age through a consistent gestural language. Anchored by the use of age-specific paper, the work generates a deliberate visual tension; the nostalgia of the substrate is disrupted by sharp, vivid applications of graphite, wax, and ink. These pieces emerge as contradictory tokens—simultaneously beautiful ornamental artifacts and dangerous objects of neglect.

XXS | SERIES

The "erasure" aesthetic, often seen with redaction-like bars or scribbles over text—suggests themes of censorship, lost history, and the struggle to be heard and responded to.

POST SCHEMATIXXX | SERIES

Executed in pastels on aged paper, this series employs a "schematic" visual language, utilizing childlike or primitive forms to deconstruct complex subjects. Titles such as Motif of Mother, At the Stake, and Lube suggest a tension between innocence and adult realities.

DEAR MOM, ON MONDAY I STEPPED ON A BEE | SERIES

This narrative-driven series blends aquarelle, ink, and color pencils to create diaristic vignettes. The works—including Bags of Sand, Night Routine, and Fruit in Heat—combine abstract color fields with sketched objects and text, evoking the feeling of a fragmented letters.
