FRESNO Hand Embroidered Textile Surface Fragment

Condensed Study Intent

Fresno explores repetition as structured rhythm.

Braided jute traverses the textile ground in disciplined loops — a translation of cultivated landscape logic into fibre articulation. The movement is continuous yet controlled, allowing relief to build gradually across the surface.

Repetition is not ornamental here; it establishes order.

Spatial Behaviour

Fresno holds space through quiet endurance.

Its grounded material weight and rhythmic articulation allow it to integrate within architectural settings without visual noise. The surface absorbs light rather than reflects spectacle.

Material & Construction

Hand embroidered using braided jute on a structured textile base (Fine Jute-Linen blend).

Relief is developed through measured layering and controlled stitch density to ensure durability and tactile depth.

Embroidery time: approximately 70 hours (set of two)
Finishing time: approximately 12 hours (set of two)

Architectural Extension

This surface logic may extend into larger textile wall panels or rhythmic architectural planes, where repetition operates structurally rather than decoratively.
