[DAVID ALTMEJD: HEADS]

2
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:16,140
[WOMAN, OFF SCREEN] We need something called 'room tone'.

3
00:00:17,242 --> 00:00:20,878
[MAN, OFF SCREEN] So, twenty seconds of silence, please.

4
00:00:21,618 --> 00:00:23,309
[MAN, OFF SCREEN] Room tone...

5
00:00:26,322 --> 00:00:29,603
[ALTMEJD] I see the head as a sort of drawing, you know,

6
00:00:29,603 --> 00:00:31,603
Some sculptors make drawings,

7
00:00:31,603 --> 00:00:34,140
I make heads.

8
00:00:38,009 --> 00:00:41,243
It's just a way of using that frame

9
00:00:42,347 --> 00:00:45,952
to experiment combining colors and materials.

10
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:48,079
That's the reason I see them as drawing.

11
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:50,878
They've always been inside my practice.

12
00:00:50,878 --> 00:00:53,941
They've always been inside my landscape.

13
00:00:55,971 --> 00:00:59,241
I think it's really the perfect size.

14
00:00:59,641 --> 00:01:02,403
You know, I think it's like the center of the universe.

15
00:01:02,602 --> 00:01:07,911
I like the idea that the universe was the size of a head

16
00:01:07,911 --> 00:01:10,677
just before the 'big bang', you know?

17
00:01:14,622 --> 00:01:16,371
When I work on a show,

18
00:01:16,371 --> 00:01:20,171
I make the heads just using materials that have been used

19
00:01:20,171 --> 00:01:21,979
in the main pieces.

20
00:01:22,715 --> 00:01:27,652
So, every head that I make is connected to the show in a certain way.

21
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:33,573
And I take that head, and I just place it in the corner here,

22
00:01:33,573 --> 00:01:36,110
and I place it in the corner there.

23
00:01:36,942 --> 00:01:40,881
Then, I've created that kind of balance that I'm looking for.

24
00:01:43,629 --> 00:01:49,811
I love those ideas of the inside, the outside, the infinite,

25
00:01:49,811 --> 00:01:54,503
the infinitely large, the infinitely small, the mind--

26
00:01:55,478 --> 00:01:57,541
everything is in that head,

27
00:01:58,021 --> 00:02:03,280
so I'm going to keep using that as a frame for my drawings,

28
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,909
I think, forever.
