Lorraine Loots

masterworks is the creative equivalent

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:
