SPLICED LIFE / 20-ISH QUESTIONS WITH: LORRAINE LOOTS ISSUE 05 20-ish questions with Lorraine Loots Stumbling upon Lorraine Loots’ Instagrammed collection of diminutive masterworks is the creative equivalent of spending a morning marvelling at the infinitely intricate world in your garden. Her astoundingly detailed daily hand-painted 365 Postcards for Ants measure a total of 30 x 30mm, with daily subjects vacillating from (365 Postcards for Ants) Nintendo consoles to hedgehogs - and that was just in 2013. Her second 365-piece collection celebrates the gems of Cape Town in its celebration as 2014 World Design Capital, with the observational list growing daily. Isaac Kosmides asked her 20-ish Questions: Right now, I am sitting on my bed and listening to the sweet sound of angle grinders. I’m currently obsessed with cheese.
