Here's a picture of Dave from his February interview with Sarah K. Taylor of the local weekly "The Wanderer". A comment from Sarah K. Taylor, from her article follows:
"The process of making a bust involves immersing oneself into the art spiritually. Mr. Englund worked for five months on his sculpture of Melville, sometimes getting up in the middle of the night and working into the dawn. Mr. Englund's choice to use eye spaces instead of eyeballs is a very conscious one. He feels that "eyeballs block any interior in a sculpture." Leaving space allows the viewer to interpret what they see. "Some people see eyes in those recesses."
