Process

Annamaria’s work is built through slow stitch, writing, and layered textile processes. Each piece develops over long periods, often in short, intermittent sessions.

Her process is shaped by changing physical conditions, including tremors, pain, and reduced mobility. Stitching is both a limitation and a solution: it can be done seated, in small increments, and adapted using tools or modified techniques.

What appears intricate is created through repetition, one stitch at a time. Variation in the work reflects variation in the body; unevenness is not corrected but retained as part of the record.

She works this way because it allows her to continue making despite instability. The process supports persistence, offering both structure and flexibility.

Experimentation happens in material play, combining found elements, different surfaces, and stitch without needing precision or consistency.
