Lisa Lozano: (over coffee) When I work on a piece I lose myself so completely that I become a part of it. It's almost as if there is a nail connecting me to the work.

Lisa: (working) Ohhhhh! Ouuuchiiieee! Aiiiiiiiii!!! (the nail gun sent a nail into her finger and attached her to the sculpture she was working on!!! It was a very fine finishing nail, thank god.)

Lisa: (over coffee) There is so much magic happening with the sculpture!

KK: Yes?

Lisa: Yes! Because of the 35 degree angles! (she and Benjamin Heller are constructing mammoth mirror octagons.)

KK: Tell me about the 35 degree angles.

Lisa: I'll show you. Stand there. Now walk. See..? They make you disappear... So when you walk around them you lose yourself for a moment- you are dissolved. Then, there! Look. You rediscover yourself. Again and again.

KK: Oh my god. (shuddering)

Benjamin Heller: Yes, it gives you the Truth Chill.
