"JORGE BENLLOCH: We are going to start doing this basic frame; in fact, look at that. It's not a frame. I cut this from this aluminum coil. We are going to make like this, and then we are going to just put it somewhere here in the center. This is going to give us just a little support. The good thing of the aluminum coil is that it's very flexible. And then, you can later move the sculpture in the way that you want. Now, we are going to select one of these figures. In fact, I select this page from that book, that's very good anatomy book, because it shows the different sides of the same kind of body. That's very important. Then we have front, back, profile, and then we can't work better that if only we have like front or profile, okay? I suggest that sometimes we have to pick you know only one. Because we have no other choices, then we pick one side and then we have to imagine and construct the other three that we don't see. But that's part of the sculptor talent to do that way. You have to have this kind of little knowledge about anatomy in order build what you don't see. And now, we are going to start now with the decor."
