Multitudes of Innerscape Editions have been realised as large sculpture through commission. A piece commissioned for Goodwood Sculpture Park - 'Coversation Piece' and an indoor work commissioned by BUPA at BUPA house in London are examples of two.

In 1991, Ben-David began incorporating human attributes into his sculptures, as in the first version of "Conversion Piece", a table-like structure of a crawling ape-like creature. It's back has been flattened to resemble a plateau or tabletop, on which tiny, upright - and therefore human or humanoid figures are placed. Ben-David reworked and refined this sculpture in 1996.

If Ben-David's process of revisiting and re-examining his ideas recalls the process of the scientist, it's no mistake. "Every artist is a scientist", said Ben-David in a recent interview "We take materials and make them into new things. We engage in experimentation. Science, like art, prompts so many questions. People question where science or art will take us. But the only truth we continue to `discover' is that we cannot stop this natural quest for constant development.
