"Today has been a busy day at the exhibition and there has been so much good feedback and requests to convey greetings to the artist that I am posting the news here.

One couple said that they visited Taidetehdas for the third time today to experience the exhibition and they were once again impressed and moved by what they experienced. Another couple said that they had visited the exhibition for the second time. The lady told us to invite you to Taidehall again! They asked me to convey their great thanks. The third couple, who had just left, sat listening to the show for probably almost an hour. They said that the exhibition experience was “like nothing else” and how the work touched the frequencies of the soul and heart. They said that they experienced many moods with the work, from despair to hope. And many have thanked the artist and stated that “it was good that we came here.” Here were my promised greetings to the artist."
