The Mather Homestead, Darien, Connecticut's only Registered National Historic Landmark, is a historic home built in 1778 by Deacon Joseph Mather. Later it became the home of Stephen Tyng Mather, an avid conservationist and the first Director of the National Park Service. His daughter, Bertha Mather McPherson was one of Connecticut’s earliest female architects. She left a remarkable legacy as preservationist of the Mather home, property, and family history. The Mather Homestead wanted to honor her with an exhibition devoted to her books, photo albums, clothing, and other ephemera. I designed the graphic panels to accompany the exhibition. The client wanted a bold and unexpected approach – I incorporated silhouettes of Bertha Mather herself and her crewelwork (a type of embroidery popular in the Colonial era), while also maintaining a sense of organization with an underlying grid system.
