Historical Context
Historical Context
During the Scandinavian studio‑craft movement of the 1960s–90s, Norwegian and other Nordic turners produced minimalist, anthropomorphic forms that echoed modernist sculpture while celebrating native timbers. Holly’s pale, fine grain was favored for turned sculpture; a rugged burr base is typical of the period’s organic aesthetic.
