Gina Siepel: To Understand a Tree
To Understand a Tree is a multi-disciplinary project that focuses on the dignity of a living tree, its network of eco-systemic relationships, and the ubiquity of the material of wood in design and daily life.
The project centers on contemplation of a living forest tree and its immediate habitat from the perspective of an artist whose work draws from social practice, video, performance, and the politics of early-Americana. The project links biological understandings of forest interconnection, environmental philosophy, queer ecology, and Indigenous teachings about human-nature relationships, challenging an often-assumed binary between living tree and dead wood. These studies, along with man...

    Great discussion and display of the mangle boards. I just bought Jay's book on mangle boards and LOVE it. I bought a reproduction of a Swedish mangle board to use in my 'history of laundry' demo at the Heritage Center. I'm trying to learn all I can about how a mangle board was used. Thank you for this valuable information.

    Thank you for this wonderful presentation. Threads and inspirations connect in so many ways. I was inspired by little carved birds in 1969 when I was seven or eight years old. Mom bought them because she loved them. It has always been a treasure in our family. I often wondered about the hands that made these little birds, with grand detail yet simple form. Occasionally one of us kids would pick it up and pretend to fly around and peck at the ground. They have been around mom's house for almost sixty years now. Last month, when I was talking with my mom about the birds, I picked them up to look on the bottom to see if there were any markings. I looked closer than I have ever looked, and discovered there was something scribed into the base. There seemed to be something there. I needed more than bifocals, so I got out the trusty magnifying glass. It had what looked like a odd named, "Emilan". Hmm, could be imported.Some othere name that looked like Madelin Thompson, and other scratches. As i attempt to sound it out mom suggested 'Made in Thompson. The other scratches were PA. We laughed for a minute then I searched for wood carvers in Thompson PA. That's when I figured out the name, because there it was, Emil Milan. Next I wanted to find out how close Thompson is to Susquehanna where we lived from mid 1962 through 1967. How exciting to discover his dairy barn workshop was less than ten miles from our house. My mom never knew who made it (until last month), but she did know she brought if from Pennsylvania, and she bought it because she loved it. I only assumed she bough in California, but what did I know, I was only a child. Though I too have always loved the little love birds. Again... Thanks for enhancing our little treasure with a name, and a face, with a story that now, will not fade into obscurity and just a wooden knick knack sitting on a shelf or windowsill. Tom Graves (and my mom)
