Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.62,0:04:38.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is like a really great working environment. It’s really nice being here Im definitely learning a lot
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.54,0:04:41.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but on the other hand it is really time consuming.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.30,0:04:47.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I think there’ll come a point at which I need to go do my own thing now.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.92,0:04:53.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The hardest part of leaving here will be the fact that we laugh so much at work
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.80,0:05:04.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean it’s serious here, we are getting shit done, but the fact that the vibe is really relax is so nice.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.67,0:05:06.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[inaudible speaking]
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.29,0:05:13.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There’s huge change that happens at the end,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.10,0:05:18.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like once everything got attached and a lot of the big main decisions are made.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.08,0:05:23.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My focus is on these minuscule details, the knots in the books.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.84,0:05:30.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are still supports, like here there is little ones inside here, and here.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.44,0:05:37.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this drips kind of obscure where the supports are. To make it looks like you are in the scifi kind of world
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.12,0:05:39.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That the rules of physics are being bent.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.54,0:05:46.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Elements come on and come off, so my job is predicating some of those things.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.66,0:05:52.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are like very geeky about ways to problem solve large complicated sculptures.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.99,0:06:00.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The sculptures itself is not built in a rational way. It has more of an aesthetic goal rather than a tectonic one.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.68,0:06:09.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the things I am working mostly right now are construction manuals on how to assemble one of these things.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.74,0:06:14.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am always running out to the studio measuring pieces and coming back to the computer.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.81,0:06:21.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s part of the sculpture that you don’t see. These instruction manuals will stay with the sculptures for the rest of its life.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.08,0:06:29.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sometimes I ll get home after working here, and then I have a lot of dreams about cutting, gluing,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.70,0:06:33.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I am not sure if I am dreaming about doing her work or doing my work.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.22,0:06:35.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the end it doesn’t make a big difference to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.32,0:06:50.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What we are doing in the studio together is our own problem for a while.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.04,0:06:58.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And at some point, it will be the world problem. Forever.\N[laughs]
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.92,0:07:07.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The art world is really temperamental, so I could be down to myself next year, who knows.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.67,0:07:11.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I am careful, and I try to be prepared for luck.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.81,0:07:21.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Artist are some of the savviest, inventive people, they have to manage a really illogical pursuit,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.37,0:07:25.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rest of the world is a lot more logical.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.31,0:07:37.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every artist I know is dealing with lot of stress, and a lot of desire; and a lot of curiosity.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.90,0:07:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are kind of sneaky undercover people like you and me so be careful, we're everywhere.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.34,0:07:54.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Cleans party!
