Hello

I’m Lottie. I’m actually Charlotte, but in about 1998 I discovered the dot.com belonged to a real estate agent (really wasn’t a lot for kids on the internet back then) My brother bought me this one in the 2000s when I was studying and once I started freelancing I used it and sort of became Lottie. I don’t dislike it and I did do it to myself but also, Hello, I’m Charlotte.

I’ve got over a decade’s experience of professionally cutting and sticking. A ridiculous sentence to type. 5 Year old me would be thrilled and, to be honest, probably a little confused.

I find it exceedingly hard trying to describe what I do. It really is best to just look through some images, but I shall try, what with words being good for search engines.

I design and produce sculptures, largely (or smalley) with cardboard and very little else.

Once a commission has served its purpose it can be recycled and not thrown in a skip. That's been important to me since I started, I didn’t expect this to be a career so I needed the daftness to at least not be producing needless material waste as it (back then) wasted time. It’s slowly, far too slowly, becoming an element thats sellable, and so, keeping my selling hat on, it’s also cheap on the materials budget ya know, bonus!

Big visual impact, low eco guilt!

Some things what I have done:

Developed, designed and made the set for a year long exhibition space at The Story Museum in Oxford. We got nominated for the Museums and Heritage Sustainability Award, Brilli-ant!

Produced a plethora of sculptures for shop windows, various sorts of events and festivals.

Created work for a residency at a Science and Industry Museum.

Made props and animated segments for a couple of music videos

I like making detailed and beautifully finished pieces that put a smile on the faces of those that encounter them.​ Things that create interaction either with their surroundings or the people who come into contact with them. Objects that have and tell story.

Working in collaboration with you to develop your initial thoughts into a concept, taking this concept through from design, to build and install.

If you’re not sure if I can even help please do reach out anyway. New things are fun and I love getting my teeth into an ish idea and helping figuring it out with you.

  • "Brilli-ANT’s visual design is unabashedly charming; sunny, engaging, and because of its construction from largely recycled materials, full of character ... If this were the set of an ongoing TV show, I would watch every episode. You can really feel the care and skill that’s gone into crafting this set, and especially the colourful cast who inhabit it"
