Lotty Adam’s practice is rooted in relationality. She explores the threshold between dialectics such as passive and active, control and surrender, known and unknown, examining the metaphysical space between feeling and thinking. She explores the relationships we have as humans to complex emotions, experiences and socio-cultural influences that define our experience. Informed by her developing practice as an existential-phenomenological therapist, philosophy, and an intimate exploration of her lived experience, she seeks to navigate and give form to the conceptual relationship between ontological mind and physical body. Her work is process driven and imbued with self-exploration, play, and an openness that invites viewers to engage with their own experience of themselves, and their emotions and perceptions.


In Lotty’s practice, the body is not just a tool for creation but a site of perception, memory, and knowledge; an ever-unfolding experience sensed in the interplay between the internal and external, body and mind, self and the world. Her process is intuitive yet intentional, always shifting between control and release, between observation and action. Working with ink, thread, graphite, oil, and collage on both paper and linen, she embraces materials that absorb, bleed, or resist, mirroring the unpredictability of the emotional and perceptual states she explores.
