Working in her studio in the Occitanie region of southern France, the artist alternates between hand and machine embroidery as she layers long, sweeping lines and tiny, tufted French knots. The contrasts create tension and intrigue and ensure that Stattin doesn&#8217;t get too comfortable with any one mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My work is all about the process, being in and surrendering to the moment, embracing the unknown, not being attached to outcomes and expectations, and bringing the threads to life,&#8221; she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stattin-3-960x988.jpg\" alt=\"a colorful abstract embroidery on blue fabric\" class=\"wp-image-449861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stattin-3-960x988.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stattin-3-640x659.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stattin-3-768x790.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stattin-3-1493x1536.jpg 1493w, https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stattin-3-1990x2048.jpg 1990w, https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stattin-3.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bursting with color and texture, Stattin&#8217;s abstract embroideries evoke movement and energy through several layers of thin, sewing thread stitched atop one another. There&#8217;s tension between orderly rows and chaotic smatterings. &#8220;Each new piece is an internal journey, a sort of enigma that asks to be solved, and I use the needle and threads to capture a feeling, movement, and life itself,&#8221; she shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, appliqu\u00e9, screen-printing, and acrylic-painted details appear in her pieces, and decisions to incorporate new materials are part of an instinctive process guided by the work itself.  Color is similar, with combinations of pastel hues and bold, saturated palettes derived from nature, the artist&#8217;s surroundings, or even the way sewing thread falls on her table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am interested in an intuitive, yet mindful process, to see where the threads will take me, to see and respond to what happens, and to work with eventual mistakes,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I embrace those mistakes as they often lead to new ideas that I bring into future work.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Stattin on <a
