Lotte SCHWERDTFEGER

There are many theories floating around in time and space, but most infer that Lotte (mystic star) Schwerdtfeger has rainbows in her frontal lobes. The world is refracted through her mind like nebulous light through wet skies. It can be scary sometimes but she is fearless. Mystik Star won’t retreat from the front of her eyes or from yours for that matter (watch your back). She hails from the high seas of Melbourne town, Australia, attending to the task of revealing mystic truths at the VCA. She is a punk of NO LOVE LOST, a collection of similar minds nesting in Sydney, joining her in the quest to keep the dream alive through whatever means. She is friends with the friends in your head, building with kinder-garden skills of cardboard and detritus, cubby house construction other-worlds for you to enter: part of her mind is a space where you can cogitate on your own.
