[DAVID ALTMEJD: HEADS]
[WOMAN, OFF SCREEN] We need something called 'room tone'.
[MAN, OFF SCREEN] So, twenty seconds of silence, please.
[MAN, OFF SCREEN] Room tone...
[ALTMEJD] I see the head as a sort of drawing, you know,
Some sculptors make drawings,
I make heads.
It's just a way of using that frame
to experiment combining colors and materials.
That's the reason I see them as drawing.
They've always been inside my practice.
They've always been inside my landscape.
I think it's really the perfect size.
You know, I think it's like the center of the universe.
I like the idea that the universe was the size of a head
just before the 'big bang', you know?
When I work on a show,
I make the heads just using materials that have been used
in the main pieces.
So, every head that I make is connected to the show in a certain way.
And I take that head, and I just place it in the corner here,
and I place it in the corner there.
Then, I've created that kind of balance that I'm looking for.
I love those ideas of the inside, the outside, the infinite,
the infinitely large, the infinitely small, the mind--
everything is in that head,
so I'm going to keep using that as a frame for my drawings,
I think, forever.
