The process begins with finding an interesting face, photographing it, adding or changing the color, and then pixilating the finished photograph. Using samples, I then layer the samples to get the desired shades to correspond with each pixel in the photo. On large sheets of graph paper I write down the selected colors. I then layer 5/8 inch squares of the selected colors on a base sheet, firing each panel at temperatures up to 1500 degrees in a kiln. The finished panel is one solid piece of glass. The larger pieces such as SABIO are approximately four feet square, made up of 9 panels and contain up to 15,000 5/8 inch chips.
