Three timed script blocks alternate male and female voices on stone, woodcarving, seasonal change, closed eyes and the power of sculpture.

The script's speakers associate carved forms with internal feeling and inherited practices. The alternating voice labels and timing columns indicate a planned sequence of delivery. The female speaker's first phrase remains unusual and should not acquire a fluent substitute through interpretation.

The first page of a timed film narration in frame, time and voice columns. The male voice opens 'Our fAcEs ArE As stoNE', a female voice says 'EYEs / closEd for MY MiNd / to floAt As Air', and the page ends on 'ANciENt powEr of / sculpturE tExturEd / bY priMitivE MAN to / thE forM of MY ENErgY / forEbodiNg.'

Carved faces speak for the island's past. The script alternates male and female voices across short timed frames, so the poetry is written to fit the pictures.
