Lou Lou & Oscar is the working name of me, Lisa Aaron, a self-taught designer and maker of things. I live and work in Edinburgh and have exhibited my work internationally. After completing studies in english literature & modern continental philosophy I worked as a Librarian in London for many years. Since 2009 I have focused on designing & making creatures & contemporary wall hangings. My work is often inspired by the written word, by fragments of text & half-remembered lines of poetry. An interest in cryptozoology, hybrid identity & natural history feeds into many of the creatures I create, I can frequently be observed staring out to sea hoping to catch a glimpse of the giant squid!
