Shedding light on the concealed object, revealed. Brief History of Scholarship. The Melness Shoe: The afterlife of a museum object. July 19, 2016. July 19, 2016. I recently interviewed an artist who has engaged with concealed shoes within museum environments, and her experience has shown me that such shoes are far from ‘frozen in time’. Joanne B. Kaar. And she was on the hunt for an object that would capture her imagination and that’s when she came across the Melness shoe. The outside of the shoe is desi...

Shedding light on the concealed object, revealed. Brief History of Scholarship. Brief History of Scholarship. No website could do justice to the many theories surrounding the custom of concealment – so we won’t try!

Shedding light on the concealed object, revealed. Brief History of Scholarship. The Writing in the Wall: Whitefield’s Mystery Scroll. September 9, 2016. September 9, 2016. From the outside, it’s not the kind of house you’d expect to yield a mystery from years gone by: a red-brick end terrace, built in 1906 and fairly typical of houses in North Manchester. But this particular terrace, on South Avenue in Whitefield, boasts a treasure of the enigmatic variety. The piece of paper was found 15 years ago when ...

Shedding light on the concealed object, revealed. Brief History of Scholarship. Gelli Iago’s Vast Cache of Concealed Shoes. May 23, 2016. May 23, 2016. Back in 2010 the National Trust were restoring Gelli Iago, a 17. As footwear anymore; they were merely fragments of leather, with only the eyelets hinting at their former uses.

Shedding light on the concealed object, revealed. Brief History of Scholarship. Concealed Pipes and Smoking Fairies. June 28, 2016. June 28, 2016. Will e-cigs eventually replace cigarettes? Probably. And this transition, as with any cultural and commercial change, will show up on the material record. Archaeologists 500 years from now will note the sudden early-21. This is, after all, what happened to another smoking implement that eventually became redundant: the clay tobacco pipe. Century it was believe...

December 2015 – The Concealed Revealed
https://theconcealedrevealed.wordpress.com/2015/12
Shedding light on the concealed object, revealed. Brief History of Scholarship. December 24, 2015. February 29, 2016. Tis the day before Christmas and there are some last-minute traditions to observe in my house – one of which is safety-pinning a stocking to my wooden mantelpiece. Unable to escape the folklorist in me, watching the red and gold over-sized sock hanging above my electric fire puts me in mind of another custom: the concealed shoe. The most prominent theory is that the shoe was placed in the...

Shedding light on the concealed object, revealed. Brief History of Scholarship. The Folklore of Shoe-Shaped Confetti. July 28, 2016. July 28, 2016. The wedding season is upon us and, in preparation for it, I spent last Saturday shopping for the essentials: a new dress (or three), ‘congratulations’ cards, and gifts that the bride and groom are never going to use (does anyone ever really want candlesticks?
