Maria Sauze, Visual Artist

My work traces the dialogue between photography and embroidery—where the visible meets the thread. Each piece begins as a photograph and becomes something touched, stitched, lived into textile. I use thread to keep the story alive. To slow the eye. To make time visible.

Artist Statement

As a visual artist from Buenos Aires, now living in Los Angeles, my art is woven from the inspiration of photography and textiles. I blend traditional and digital techniques to craft stories, where threads, needles, patterns, and colors emerge like whispers, stitching themselves into my images and designs. This process is a delicate balance between two realms—perfection and imperfection—an intimate dance that invites me to be present, to explore, and to reclaim my identity. In each stitch, I find a piece of my own story, unraveling and reweaving itself with every movement of needle and thread.

IN THREADS - The Book

What if making could become a way of thinking— a way of remembering? Look closely enough, and a thread becomes a story.

About the book

In Threads weaves together ancient methods and modern innovation—honoring where we come from while moving toward what’s next. It explores making with care and finding balance between creativity and conscience. Through embroidery, weaving, printing, nonwovens, photography, and textile art, it invites us to see how craft, sustainability, and imagination can coexist. Going full circle isn’t just an environmental act; it’s a return to connection— to community, and to ourselves. A renewed gaze that lets the stories within our hands and fibers come alive.
