Description
Faces have become fascinating to me in art. I particularly like when the used material is cold and lifeless but the face seems to be on the verge of moving and breathing. Well, for a metal artisan like me this approach is also most suitable.
Here I wanted to get a feeling of a frozen movement where steel stripes merge to form a head and maybe then to form a complete human being. A T1000 perhaps, heh!

First, and foremost, my friend, it's been a while!
I really do see your work as being just a little underappreciated.
As said long ago in the past, your material deserves the world's respect.
To do such magnificent and arduous work impresses and snatches the eye.
No one in Metalwork I have seen, whether on here or on the outside,
works this alloy like you do, and others like it! The side-view of this is astounding,
the brain resembling that of two wriggling worms, at least, to me anyway.
In mulling over this, it's very intriguing!
The title is also profoundly and fittingly pu; and let me tell you, could not have
been vividly described any better than that. It sounds almost poets and
provokes allot of thought in itself.
Your craftsmanship is the work of extinct men that of the Bronze Age.
You just don't see things like this everyday in what you do.
I really appreciate you sharing this, as always!

I'm so sorry you've had to wait for my reply for a month! I've been away from DA for quite some time and, well, I'll try to write a longer journal entry about the reasons in Summer when things are more clear to me. Suffice to say is that I've been working on audio visual works for now and if things go as planned I'll be doing full-time job on that. That's one of the reasons why I've been quiet here in DA.
It's most pleasant to see that you've made interesting observations on my work on different levels, as always when you've given me feedback. Thank you for that!
The making of this art piece was captured to video with some interviews where I tell about my ideals and work ethics and such. It'll be on youtube and hopefully has subtitles so that non-Finnish speakers can understand what I say.

Well Hell, provide a link on your Youtube and I'd
be glad to take a listen. It's good to see you're
still into audio and whatnot. Speaking of which
I still, to this day, have the MP3 files you sent me
of the select few poems you wrote a long time ago.
I still jam to that at times. Good stuff.
You're always welcome though. It's good to see you're
alive and doing well, keeping up the momentum.
I know your busy with things, and that's understandable.
