lottie and doof was started by foodie obsessed doof (lottie was his grandma who hated to cook) who after studying art theory and practice realised he liked dinner parties more than he did art. he confesses himself that a lot of his recipes are 'adaptations' of other recipes but none the less they are still pretty tasty looking. have a look at the sour cream, cherry, tequila ice pops - who cares if it's before 6pm on a wednesday. yum!

The brief asked the students to investigate the local community and respond in a respectful and appropriate manner to their surroundings. the concept was to interact and nurture a conversation with the neighbouring area and people. on display for four hours only the show encompassed four team projects in a soon-to-be demolished enclave of flats within the local area. the lit-up boxes project was particularly resonating and inspired within the setting of the half empty flat.
