We visit and leave. It is not like we should get amused by narrow and low, grey and white.

Bricks, brick wall, piles of bricks aside the road promising stability and forthcoming work. As I have compared brick walls built over a hundred years ago to this day, the difference is astonishing. Of course we now have the element building strategy. It has made constructing fast and highly machined heavy-duty. The differences between times strike me, they hit me. Differences between wealth, health, strength and endurance of people, society and houses. It use to was self-evident to pay attention to detailed work, to detail, which slowness of doing made possible as also will and ability to build in a decorative variable way. Now we do not have the money nor time. Contrast is puzzling and the common statement of not having time nor money. People in general had less both hundred years ago. Were they less afraid or did they have more appreciation towards life in general and how our actions effect to life of others?

It is a different time with different values and we are in a hurry. The way we build tells that story. Tale of no time, things being done in very little time, but with massive volume. People are treated the same way as massive volume moving cash. We are units of bringing in and taking. To give takes an effort especially voluntarily and without cost. But still in the name of good. We have a religion of good. We yearn the cream to be poured into our mouths.

In every offence of no offence

Fear of the dark, whiteness driven world moving like a solid block, like constant non-, and denying blackness, denying darkness and shades around and in. It is a common and united agreement to stay still in white, sudden touch can be allowed, but not to draw on. It is a curious world of forbiddances, bans and ignorance put together on a seemingly narrow path. In a world for eyes only, what is it that pleases the eyes. Aim to please, aim not to irritate, not to cause conflict, quarrel or a thought, my goodness. It can be beautiful in its undressed way, but still it cannot look at nudity.

Sanctity of white wall among us, purity, uniformity, monotonous design patterns. Repetition and cleanness are part of the legacy of modernism. Lack of tone, sensibility and variety of beauty. Partly modernism can be accused. It is an ideology of simplicity, purity of form and functionality. Partly and largely the politics of construction business made and municipal politics demand for efficient and greedy economy can be accused.

Finland is a good example of this. How urban planning has been made into templates. Variation isn’t that popular as long as it looks profitable and lures certain kind of people to buy apartments. Clean, quiet and safe suburb is a positive and good to have dot.

Have you met Lucifer in this time of adversity, Do you know Her? Or is it Him? Is it sex? Walked in the dark woods, wet and afraid. She has a beautiful name. But it is not very ladylike to drink out of the bottle

| Henna Timanttimetsä

She is just a little girl, but it is about to get very cold in here. fragile millimetric frost in layers, peeling up, shining through, letting incoming light come through, shock me, panic me, make me, revealing guilt and what to do with it. With waste that cannot be hidden, mud-like material to learn from, to apply on. Acknowledge it, admit it. There is no such word to make it up, fix the toxic mark, heal the broken bottle, used needles, anything left behind, any trace that tells me. Pure venom. Bite, lethally bitten. There is always a cut of skin, that’s what sharp objects are for, cutting.

Kill Darling Kill- what is love for, in the civilized world. It is murder, the world.

| Henna Timanttimetsä

It is a mission. Means are cheap, easy as possible and serving to the cause. How interesting. Demonic killer. It is all for good, in the means for good, people as good, but opposite results. It is so obvious. The good. Impressed. deeply corrupt.

Lone wolf is a dangerous species or is believed to be by those who do not know better. People filled with fear for the unknown. Solitude is feared and unknown. I don’t know if it is endangered. Silence and solitude. I have a feeling it is not. Intolerable in it’s the lack of will to participate. It is hugely difficult to understand its, wolf’s quality, wolves, why they are as they are. It is a common thought that they, the wolves, have the mistake in them. That is the mistake, error in seeing.

Oh it’s Giorgio! Giorgio! Today my favourite song is Michael Jackson’s Dirty Diana! KissKiss

Measurements for success in largeness, interviews, visibility, figures, counted as how much. Nothing is enough is the ultimate capitalist will to live and kill and that to be seen as strength. Lust for Speeding, search for novelty and winnings is dictated by corporal yearly financial functions followed closely by the press. Only massive growth is good enough.  As fashion is circulating through winter, spring, summer and fall collections, it is tightly followed by most of us. What to wear, where and with what. Such accessories as phones go nicely along with the burning picture of the burning world.

To set the world on fire, world that already is burning. World existing in flames, in heat, burn, destruction. What is a burning world a metaphor for? Human energy, evilness, rush of blood, I’m not sure, it means different things for different people, different contexts, excitement, fever, lust.

Game da, what does a terrorist look like and are blonds da, I think I am being realistic, don’t you think

| Henna Timanttimetsä

Game of people, people in the game, people gaming, placing the bets, hitting, scoring, this is how it goes; thinking you know is better than the actual knowledge of someone or something. Also importantly in the case of measuring others is the notion of unreliability of emotions, the amount of our emotional life, how we respond to what we feel, the quantity and quality of our emotions making us. We let emotions guide our doings, our choices, our words. We are very much emotional in our actions, not as rational as we like to see ourselves. Reason is an interesting concept in terms of feelings, as a ruler of Western civilization and what comes to emotional decision-making what part does reason play. Is it also a facade and a choice of appearance to wear reason like clothing. It is there, but it is not there.

Same goes with thinking you know, like living life in make-believe world, a bubble, which is more or less delusional multi-world in which we see glances and tiny fractions and imagine the rest, the make-believe. I like to think the world of people as huge imaginative lust for greatness and glory with disappointments. World of imaginary creations to become the material world, dreams and aspirations. What do we really want? The Material, which are the possessions you want, desire, get and own, guard and become. As you become your possessions, reflection of what you own, you begin to see others through that same lens, measuring their worth through what they own and don’t, as status and position ruled by wealth and fortune. It is gaming with sex and gender, money and status, greed, jealousy, hate, lust etc. emotional cocktails and attempts in trying to hide them in calling it ’love’ and beautiful. To glorify oneself some are willing to do most anything with a little help.

What kind of features in people are favoured, liked and how much do these features change in time? What effects in the decision of how we favour, who are amiable, who aim to please and who pleases. Which features are not liked, why something is liked and some characteristics are not? It would be easy if negative characteristics would be in the list *of course not liked*. I have been wondering how much the time we live now is feeding narcissism, abusive behaviour, intolerance and bullying. I guess the ways of treating each other badly may change but the amount of abuse and wrong doings stay the same. This is the essential question when stereotypes are analysed or any kind of categorizing happens, liking someone, what is that. Does liking relate to building a net of socialites and gaining power through relations and who you know. How do we connect and why?

In being an artist to possess and connect have special meanings, they are the core of the art world, to have, gain and so forth. So these negative emotions and effects of doing art have to be thought through, firstly: is that what I want?
