Dorothy Caldwell is a textile artist living and working in rural Ontario, Canada. Her work reflects the rural landscape and topography. She makes use of maps and land surveys to create large and small quilted topographies. Batik wax resist, cantings and stamps are an element of her work in mark making and surface design.

“…I’m interested in the marks that we as humans make on the landscape, how we divide land up and how farming patterns occur…In North America our land is divided with a grid, there is a grid laid over the landscape, and the natural forms flow over that grid.”
