Pipi-Lotta Kulla

Pipi-Lotta Kulla is an Estonian artist who has been based in the UK since 2014. Her work focuses on the tensions that arise when attempting to reconcile the societal worth of solitary experience with that of collective experience. She explores the nexus between memory (collective and individual), unconscious familiarity and dissociation, and the sensations of confinement and freedom within the mind. By paying attention to what rises within us as we move through our day-to-day lives, she highlights the visceral sensitivities that we often overlook, and where these come from. Her upbringing among seven siblings and the frequent transit between England and Estonia, alternating between the alien urban life of England and the distant, isolated rural life of Estonia, also forms the basis of much of her work.
