Severina Seidl - A Light In The Darkness Part 2 [NX117]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Severina Seidl.Severina is a German embroidery artist whose work blurs the line between thread, paint, and narrative abstraction.In this second half, Severina shares her ambitions in fashion embroidery, reflects on the push-pull between creativity and career, and gets candid about what it means to pursue art without a roadmap. Plus, we get her picks on books, music, and life growing up without TV.For another artist making mixed media with a hint of darkness, my NeedleXChanges with Ruth Norbury (NX 27 & 28) are definitely worth a listen.Timestamps:00:00:00 – Introduction00:01:30 – Reflections on Artistic Journey00:02:45 – Influences and Inspirations00:09:45 – Cinematic Inspirations00:10:43 – Growing Up Without TelevisionLinks:Website: severinaseidltextiles.comInstagram: severina.seidl_textilesBlue Mind (Instrumental) by Torii Wolf via Epidemic Sound.About NeedleXChange:NeedleXChange is a conversation podcast with embroidery and textile artists, exploring their process and practice.Hosted by Jamie "Mr X Stitch" Chalmers, it is an in-depth showcase of the best needlework artists on the planet.Visit the NeedleXChange website: needl.exchangeSign up for the NeedleXChange Newsletter here: bit.ly/NeedleXChangeNewsIf you want embroidery inspiration and regular doses of textile art, visit the Mr X Stitch site here: mrxstitch.com If you're looking for modern cross stitch designs, then XStitch is the magazine you need!
