About

Alessandra is a contemporary artist who uses the sewing machine like a pen, drawing with thread instead of ink. Her work transforms fabric into narrative, fusing black-and-white linework with tactile embroidery. Each stitch is a mark of time, patience, and curiosity- a way of translating memory, identity, and imagined futures into something viewers can see and touch.

“Much of my practice centers on the female form and how it might evolve. Influenced by mid-century modern design and futurist ideas, I explore questions about technology, continuity, and the shifting definitions of femininity. How do craft, tradition, and speculation converge to shape that story?

My thread drawings often blur the boundaries between drawing and sculpture, figuration and abstraction. Some works depict human bodies, others animals or hybrid forms, but all are grounded in a fascination with how labor, texture, and repetition can hold meaning.”

She creates from her studio in Virginia, exhibiting and selling original artwork to collectors, galleries, and anyone drawn to tactile, narrative-rich art.
