Biography:
Suzanne Loots is a textile artist based in Pretoria, South Africa. Working primarily with unbleached linen and hand embroidery, her practice explores slowness, attentiveness, and the world. Through the time-consuming process of hand embroidery, Loots creates work that invites moments of stillness, tenderness, and belonging. Alongside her studio practice, she focuses on creating spaces - both physical and emotional - where people can breathe, gather, and be reminded of their shared humanity. These spaces take the form of creative workshop facilitation, conceptual event design, and commissioned projects that centre storytelling, care, and meaningful connection.
