The five small pieces in this post were lined up at eye level on the exhibition's title wall. Each is the size of a large sketchbook page. (about 13" x 16")

We never get to see works like this in Calgary, damn it. I envy those who have access to such wonderment. For such a city that prides itself on cultural appreciation, there is little for the fibre enthusiast!! SOMEday i hope to see her work....
Dorothy continues to do amazing work. Thanks so much for sharing these images.
these small pieces just blow my mind.
gorgeous.
i can't wait to see the work. really. want. to. see. it.
I saw Dorothy on Saturday and now you've presented me with a reason to trek up to Ptbo and see the show. I heard about the room of treasures from another artist. Thank you!!
This lady's work is amazing.. Thank you for introducing her to me.
i too have admired Dorothy Caldwell's work for a long time. Lucky you for getting the chance to see her work. Are you familiar with Janet Bolton. She has been an inspiration as well.
I am in awe of Dorothy Caldwell's work, also. Thank you so much for sharing these small-scale treasures.
Beautifully meditative; like your work and Agnes Martin's, I am stilled while moving through.
Thanks for these.
This is the second reference I have seen to Dorothy Caldwell today and I'dnever heard of her before. Such beautiful meditative work
I can see how your work has been inspired by hers- the stitching and what looks like dots. Very meditative pieces.
This exhibit will travel thorough Canada later this year. I just saw it yesterday and it is just as Judy describes. Of course, seeing it in person is incredible.
Well worth the drive, or the wait if it comes to a region near you.
