“At My Own Pace” is a tactile textile artwork about walking without a destination. Hand-embroidered and collaged, it is set in a soft, plump navy pillow that turns the piece into a comforting object rather than a picture on a wall.
Title: “At My Own Pace”
Size: 32×32 cm (embroidery), 56×56 cm (with pillow frame)
Medium: Textile collage, embroidery, mixed-media textile
Series: Comfort Zone. Do Not Disturb
Artistic Style and Texture
A woman in a blue dress walks toward the water’s edge, in a landscape pieced together from satin, ribbed cotton, velvet, and glimmering metallic thread. At the center stands an intricately embroidered tree: a grey-blue crown of layered stitches above slender wine-red branches. Pale blue water, a bold wedge of burnt orange, soft pink shapes, and meadow grass stitched in blues and greens give the scene a calm, dreamlike rhythm. Look closely behind the tree: a dog is almost hidden there, a quiet presence you may only notice on a second glance.
The Story Behind the Work
This is a walk with no hurry, no schedule, and no one waiting. The woman steps out toward the lake, and nature does what it does best: it slows everything down. The nearly invisible dog is a gentle subtext. Peace is real here, but it is not naive, and the world is never entirely far away. This piece is an invitation to take your own time, to be alone with nature, and to move at exactly your own pace.
About the Pillow Frame
The navy pillow is part of the artwork and stays with it. Its soft, rounded edges hold the embroidery like a cushioned shelter, a “do not disturb” sign made of fabric.
