Resurfacing: Mennonite Floor Patterns

The design of a travelling exhibition focusing on hand-painted floors from 19th- and 20th-century house barns in southern Manitoba. Artist Margruite Krahn’s work pays tribute to the women who built, designed, and decorated these floors. This project required concept design, graphic design, editing, copywriting, image sourcing, photo retouching as well as design and print management. This exhibit first opened at Gallery in the Park in Altona, Manitoba, and has travelled throughout Canada. A field journal featuring Mennonite floor patterns was also created.
