[DAVID ALTMEJD: HEADS]

0:00:13.650,0:00:16.140
[WOMAN, OFF SCREEN] We need something called 'room tone'.

0:00:17.242,0:00:20.878
[MAN, OFF SCREEN] So, twenty seconds of silence, please.

0:00:21.618,0:00:23.309
[MAN, OFF SCREEN] Room tone...

0:00:26.322,0:00:29.603
[ALTMEJD] I see the head as a sort of drawing, you know,

0:00:29.603,0:00:31.603
Some sculptors make drawings,

0:00:31.603,0:00:34.140
I make heads.

0:00:38.009,0:00:41.243
It's just a way of using that frame

0:00:42.347,0:00:45.952
to experiment combining colors and materials.

0:00:46.179,0:00:48.079
That's the reason I see them as drawing.

0:00:48.079,0:00:50.878
They've always been inside my practice.

0:00:50.878,0:00:53.941
They've always been inside my landscape.

0:00:55.971,0:00:59.241
I think it's really the perfect size.

0:00:59.641,0:01:02.403
You know, I think it's like the center of the universe.

0:01:02.602,0:01:07.911
I like the idea that the universe was the size of a head

0:01:07.911,0:01:10.677
just before the 'big bang', you know?

0:01:14.622,0:01:16.371
When I work on a show,

0:01:16.371,0:01:20.171
I make the heads just using materials that have been used

0:01:20.171,0:01:21.979
in the main pieces.

0:01:22.715,0:01:27.652
So, every head that I make is connected to the show in a certain way.

0:01:29.860,0:01:33.573
And I take that head, and I just place it in the corner here,

0:01:33.573,0:01:36.110
and I place it in the corner there.

0:01:36.942,0:01:40.881
Then, I've created that kind of balance that I'm looking for.

0:01:43.629,0:01:49.811
I love those ideas of the inside, the outside, the infinite,

0:01:49.811,0:01:54.503
the infinitely large, the infinitely small, the mind--

0:01:55.478,0:01:57.541
everything is in that head,

0:01:58.021,0:02:03.280
so I'm going to keep using that as a frame for my drawings,

0:02:03.280,0:02:04.909
I think, forever.
