Artist's Statement

<i>Ja minä laulan
niinkuin
metsätkin laulavat


... Ja minä lauloin</i>



Gee, tormenting you with Finnish again. Haven't done that in a while. Found some drawings I had drawn and scanned in Liminka, and I really like this one so uploading it now.

This was a critique assignment from few months ago. Our mission was to make a picture poem (or a poem picture) and judging by the feedback I got from theachers, this was a success.

For Finnish impaired, the upside down text says:
<i>"And I sing like the forests sing"</i><sub> (or "like the forests are singing" which sounds a bit better)</sub>
while the text above say:
<i>"...And I sang"</i>
The translations sound a bit lame to me compared to the original, though.
