Our Pascal Hall gallery will be filled with the tapestries of the late Morrie Dorenfeld (1937-2023) in a show entitled, The Light At the End of the Tunnel, what he called the last several tapestries he wove before he passed in February of this year.

A visual artist turned master weaver, Dorenfeld was known for his “paintings in fiber.” A Chicago native, he graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago, then lived in New York and New Hampshire before settling on Spruce Head in Maine in 1978 with his life-long partner, Robert Francis Davis.

A retrospective of Dorenfeld’s art was published earlier this year. The volume will be available for purchase and signing by author Christopher Brewer Williamson at the opening reception. The Light At the End of the Tunnel is curated by Ron Crusan, president of the Morris David Dorenfeld Foundation.
