Abstract
This terminal project grew out of a wish to construct a picture from small movable units f color as a discipline that would force the attention on the picture surface and its design and on an emphasis on a process in which this design is almost literally built together. While theoretically any material would have served the same basic purpose. at a previous time I have made a series of color samples of enamel on sheet copper and the possibility of using these little pieces as a source of color in pictures came to mind. After firing a number of pieces each several colors, arranging them in various combination, observing some peculiarities of visual effects and considering the permanence and manageability of the material I began to see that series of mosaics in enamel could be an interesting study in its own right as a terminal project
