Epilogue: Ten Years Later a Mangleboard begins!
It has been 10 years since I had my research trip to Norway. By chance, I have been invited to participate in an exhibit at The Center for Art in Wood in 2017 (Philadelphia): Mangle Boards and Reflections. This is an iconic Nordic folk art form that I first encountered in my own field studies. I am delighted to be embarking on this new project from halfway across the world as I now live in Australia.
My inspiration comes from a myriad of source materials as usual, but I will be drawing on the tradition as it has been beautifully detailed in the new publication by Jay Raymond: Mangle Boards of Northern Europe. http://streamlinedirons.com/index.php
