“Quiet Shore” is a small, tactile textile artwork about the moment just before rest begins. Embroidered and collaged by hand, it is set in a soft, velvety textile frame that turns the piece into a gentle, comforting object rather than a picture behind glass.
Title: “Quiet Shore”
Size: 20×20 cm (embroidery), 27×27 cm (with textile frame)
Medium: Textile collage, embroidery, mixed-media textile
Series: Comfort Zone. Do Not Disturb
Artistic Style and Texture
Layers of satin, ribbed cotton, and linen are pieced together into an abstract landscape of pale sky-blue, soft cornflower, moss green, and a bold wedge of burnt orange. Dense thread work gives each field its own rhythm: long vertical stitches like tall grass, scattered French knots like pebbles or blossoms, and dark ribbon-like paths that cut quietly through the scene. Two bursts of grey radiating stitches sit at the edge of the composition like thistles or distant suns. Tiny pink blossoms at the water’s edge add a touch of tenderness.
The Story Behind the Work
Do you remember the first time you saw the sea? You haven’t reached the water yet, but you are already inside that vast open space, and your breath deepens on its own. A small figure in blue is just stepping into the frame, entering a space where nothing is asked of her. Ahead lie water, sky, and the simple freedom of looking.
The dark paths and prickly grey forms remind us that obligations and plans have not disappeared. But for now they stay behind, while anticipation of rest, and of something new and bright, takes over. This is not escape. It is a conscious pause, the right to stop at the shore and allow yourself to wait.
About the Frame
The velvety black textile frame is part of the artwork. It softens the edges, adds volume, and gives the piece the feel of a quiet, protective space.
