She is best known to Torontonians for her tapestries, Quartet Modern, which hang in the lobby of the Bank of Montreal tower at First Canadian Place. The casual viewer would hardly recognize that the technique used to make them—gobelin—is a traditional French art that’s more than 500 years old. Jaworska practises what she calls “textural painting,” making a spectrum of carefully interwoven fibres look like the splashes in the canvases she has long admired by Miró, Kandinsky and others. This exhibit—a collection of abstract and representational works—is accompanied by a retrospective monograph. Artwork $3,200–$120,000.—David Balzer
