“It is beautiful and intense that my hands make that what I take in from the world around me and in me” she said.
Lot Brandt was born into a family of artists. Both of her parents were ceramists. Her hands in clay feel natural. This is how she grew up. I give form to what I feel and see since my childhood: you can say that I could mould before I could walk. She transformed her feelings and what she saw from a young age into form: you can say that she can take shape before she walks. She loves clay. It is pure and honest material. People used it centuries before her. When she sees work created by long lost civilizations, sometimes thousands of years old, she feels connected and amazed…the tendency to tell your story through a hunk of clay is so ancient.
From 1981 to 1985 Lot attended the evening academy in Utrecht; modern oil painting techniques, anatomy and portrait drawing. The urge to transform experiences to ceramic forms, her creative energy, for her, it is innate. To listen to her passion and act upon it, to continuously evolve, are her own rewards. She was born and grew up in Netherlands.
