| Starry Starry |
One of Judy Martin's masterpieces, the two-sided linen damask / organdy textile, has entered private collection this month.
Starry Starry is made from a linen damask table cloth that has been dyed with procion dye and marked with a grid of holes. These holes are filled with velvet using the reverse applique technique. The dots are encircled by radiating lines that are embroidered with silk threads.

But there is more. The other side of this two-sided large textile is shaded with a layer of sheer dark brown organza, that was sttiched with floral stars. These stitched elements join the two layers with time and touch. The second side is entitled Holy Holy.
Starry Starry / Holy Holy has shown in three solo exhibitions by Judy Martin. Inside Out in 2023, Softer and Dreamier 2024, and The Sky 2025.

From my living room / studio window, I can see the sky above the water of Lake Huron. One of the most remarkable things about each day is how much the sky and the water change colour. One of the most remarkable things about the sky, is that there are so many stars in it, even in the daytime. Judy Martin
