Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.99,0:05:41.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you might say, "Surely, Rueben, if you took even just the slightest step back,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.78,0:05:52.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I would say, "If I did that,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.41,0:05:55.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,too much would be lost."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.90,0:06:00.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This tension between the need to look deeper
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.63,0:06:03.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the beauty and immediacy of the world,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.58,0:06:07.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where if you even try to look deeper you've already missed what you're looking for,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.28,0:06:10.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this tension is what makes the sculptures move.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.36,0:06:12.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And for me, the path between these two extremes
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.87,0:06:15.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,takes the shape of a wave.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.60,0:06:18.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let me show you one more.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.41,0:07:13.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,June Cohen: Looking at each of your sculptures,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.18,0:07:15.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they evoke so many different images.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.61,0:07:18.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of them are like the wind and some are like waves,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.14,0:07:21.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sometimes they look alive and sometimes they seem like math.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.03,0:07:23.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is there an actual inspiration behind each one?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.53,0:07:27.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are you thinking of something physical or somthing tangible as you design it?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.09,0:07:30.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,RM: Well some of them definitely have a direct observation --
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.23,0:07:33.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like literally two raindrops falling,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.04,0:07:35.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just watching that pattern is so stunning.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.92,0:07:41.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then just trying to figure out how to make that using stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.62,0:07:44.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like working with my hands.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.16,0:07:46.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's nothing better than cutting a piece of wood
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.38,0:07:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and trying to make it move.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.12,0:07:49.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,JC: And does it ever change?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.88,0:07:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you think you're designing one thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.00,0:07:52.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then when it's produced it looks like something else?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.75,0:07:56.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,RM: The "Double Raindrop" I worked on for nine months,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.21,0:07:58.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when I finally turned it on,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:58.56,0:08:02.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I actually hated it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:02.21,0:08:06.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The very moment I turned it on, I hated it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.33,0:08:09.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was like a really deep-down gut reaction, and I wanted to throw it out.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.68,0:08:11.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I happened to have a friend who was over,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.82,0:08:13.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he said, "Why don't you just wait."
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.84,0:08:18.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I waited, and the next day I liked it a bit better,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.21,0:08:21.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the next day I liked it a bit better, and now I really love it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.17,0:08:25.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so I guess, one, the gut reactions a little bit wrong sometimes,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.83,0:08:28.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and two, it does not look like as expected.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.38,0:08:30.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,JC: The relationship evolves over time.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.79,0:08:31.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well thank you so much. That was a gorgeous treat for us.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.67,0:08:34.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,RM: Thanks. (JC: Thank you, Reuben.)
Dialogue: 0,0:08:34.55,0:08:36.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
