Winnipeg Folk Festival 2018




 This year's theme for the Prairie Outdoor Exhibition at the Winnipeg Folk Festival is tradition.  Inspired by  Manitoba's provincial flower and campers summer tradition of pitching a tent my installation is called the Crocus Tent. Using donated fabrics and yarn, an old bicycle wheel and various poles this crocus leans down petals tied creating a shady patch.  Festival goers are welcome to drop by and sit a spell  in the shady patch,  while at night the tent will light up providing a brightly lit haven.
