Resurfacing: Mennonite Floor Patterns
August 15 - September 26 2020
Since 2001 Krahn has worked to restore and curate 19th and 20th-century housebarns, as well as the material culture in Neubergthal, Manitoba, a Mennonite Street Village and National Historic Site. Her exhibition at Gallery in the Park will be a study of hand-painted floors from these buildings, created by earlier generations of Mennonite women, which have greatly influenced her artistic practise. Her research, documentation, and restoration of wooden floors and painted floor patterns have included recreating them on canvas floor-cloths. This process has opened her imagination to a new body of work addressing the inborn need for beauty observed in Mennonite culture. Her work pays tribute to the women who built, designed, and decorated the floors of their homes amid a male-led religious ideology and its economic restrictions.
