A representative example of this artist's work. His mats were rendered in a unique primitive style often using figures, houses and trees as the main motifs in the colours of the Acadian flag.

This early‑20th century mat reflects the popularity of the E.S. Frost & Co. patterns that were widely distributed in New England and the Maritimes from the 1870s onwards. The mat is made using hand‑cut materials and all the loops are clipped as is seen more frequently in early mats. The maker came from a tradition of textile‑working, her mother was a seamstress and her grandmother was a weaver.

Exceptional original design that captures a lumber camp so common to New Brunswick. Charming for its directness, it tells an evocative story with few simple elements ‑ log cabin, stumps and pile of logs.
