Hi mindsiphon,

I'm glad to have favourite’d your work Sealed. It really calls out to be faved. The tonality and treatment of light on the skin/metal really make for a sinister and disturbing image. The removal of sensing the world around us is a palpable fear for most, and is exquisitely exicuted here.

I don't know if you are aware of the fact, but I'm doing a study at college on how people decide they like or dislike a piece of art. At the top of my page I had a statement outlining the study, I don't know if you saw it.

I've just been reported to the staff here on DeviantART by an artist for intellectual property infringement, and was very saddened and shocked by this. I wish to fully inform all those who’s work I fav’d.

I just want to let you know that no infringement of your intellectual property was intended, or will occur at any time during my study, and that if you want to withdraw at any time, please let me know. No profit is or will be made, and all images are used under the fair uses rationale (low resolution image only, all credit to the artist, academic purposes only, etc). I'm not printing the works at all, I'm only displaying them on a computer screen for a few seconds, and that's it.

If I'm not banned, I plan to continue posting updates of my study, and the final findings in or around March.

I hope that you feel positive, feel fully informed, and would like to take part. If you have any further questions, please contact me, and I will be only too happy to clear anything up, or just have a chat about it, art, or anything else.
