The Sky / Le Ciel

The wrapping of the earth by the sun in a 24 hour cycle gives us, every morning, a new day after a night of darkness.  The stunning colours of dawn arouse feelings of reassurance within me.  By making hand stitched quilts, I hope to share similar emotions of affirmation and care.  Judy Martin 2025


On July 10 from 5 - 7 pm, the Art Gallery of Sudbury hosted a "meet the artist event" to introduce Judy Martin to the public. Refreshments and remarks were in 170 Elgin street, just down the street from 174 Elgin street (the main exhibition space for the gallery.)

Under Drifting Stars

The event was well attended by Sudbury artists as well as friends and neighbours of the artist.

Sharron Sarchet and Elyse Portal shared images of the event on social media.  Judy Martin has not yet been able to document the exhibition herself and is very thankful for these photos.

The exhibition was beautifully installed by the curatorial staff of the gallery.  Several pieces are suspended from the ceiling so that both sides of Martin's quilts can be easily seen. 


The mix of sizes and also the manner of installation made moving through the exhibition a delight.  The thirteen quilts and two bundle sculptures fit into the space very beautifully.

The Sky / Le Ciel continues until August 30, 2025 at 174 Elgin Street, Downtown Sudbury.  
10 - 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday.  (closed Sunday and Monday)
