    About this ebook

    My Darling Wreck on arkeologinen mocktail ja Oulusta vuonna 2019 löydetyn Hahtiperän hylyn biofiktio. Tuhannen ja yhden männyn, luovuuden, omaelämäkerran, akateemisen kritiikin, mystisen fiktion ja oudon realismin yhdistelmä. Se on emotionaalinen ja lyyrinen tutkimusmatka akateemisen maailman steriilin horisontin taakse. Tarina vanhasta, nimettömästä hylystä. Runollinen selviytymistarina ja humoristisesti kuvitettu rakkauskirje mätänevälle muusalle - 300 vuotta vanhalle limisauma-alukselle.

    "19.6.2023

    I went through my process diary entries. All of a sudden I noticed, that my emotions towards you followed a funny pattern.

    First there was a sudden burst of feelings, mixed feelings. A crush."

    MY DARLING WRECK is an extraordinary mocktail of archaeology. It is a biofiction of a wreck. A fusion of a thousand and one pine trees, creativity, autobiography, academic critique, mystic fiction and weird realism. It is an emotional and lyrical expedition beyond the sterile horizon of academia. It is a tale of an old, nameless wreck. A poetic survival story and a humorously illustrated love letter to a rotting muse - a 300-year old clinker built vessel discovered from Oulu, Northern Finland.
    It is a tar-scented testimonial of insecurity, taste of a touch and object attachment.
    "At the dawn of all these abstracts, articles, figures, affiliations and tables, what is left is the process. The rollercoaster of emotions, unlimited enthusiasm for that magical old wreck. I call it curiosity."

    This essayistic work can be regarded as fact or fiction, weird realism, autoethnography or an uncontrollable stream of consciousness. It displays creative methods, which can aid in a research process. In cultural heritage work creative verbal and pictorial output serves as a form of nonintrusive, creative conservation. The book plumbs the therapeutic value of a rotting vessel.
    This book asks, why don't we talk more about our feelings, aren't they the roots and must-have for curiosity and inspiration?
