Heading downstairs to the exhibition space, «Daughters of Penelope» surveys the historic relationship between women artists and Dovecot: there's a strong
sense of place ever present, from Moss circle / square (2010) in which Caroline Dear draws on her training in basket weaving, picking out
grasses from her home on Skye which she dries and knots into tactile, perishable grids, to Naomi Robertson's Kantha Diaries (2011) produced after a trip to west Bengal, absorbing Kantha quilt
designs into blue - white reproductions of daily rhythms, or a rug, Untitled (2013) created by Julie Brook and Dovecot, that mimics the gradations of tone in the British artist's burnt ochre pigment drawings, picked up while travelling through deserts in Libya and Namibia.
