Thread by thread #1

Hand shredded terracotta cotton fabric, raw cotton fabric and acrylic paint.

The largest and most layered work in the Thread by Thread series, #1 is a tactile meditation on transformation, repetition, and time. Hand-shredded terracotta cotton is delicately collaged over raw fabric, with washes of acrylic anchoring the composition in earthy warmth. Every fiber speaks to the act of unraveling and re-forming—echoing both textile tradition and contemporary abstraction.

Featured in both Lisbon by Design and Santo Infante, this piece has become one of Azure’s most celebrated textile works—merging intimate craft with bold, sculptural presence.
