Eyes of the Yezidis - Les Yeux des Yezidis

Early in 2015 I started working on a series of Portraits of the Eyes of Yezidis Refugees. I built 8 huge dramatic mosaics, using my new exclusive Opus Pixellatum Technique.

Here is the story behind these Mosaics. I hope this will get you interested in the Yezidi people.

Debut 2015, j'ai commence a travailler sur une série de portraits d'yeux de refugies Yezidis. J'ai construit 8 grands et impressionnants portraits, en utilisant une technique révolutionnaire : Opus Pixellatum, mise au point pour cette occasion.

Voici l'histoire de cette collection. J’espère que cela vous intéressera au peuple Yézidi.

Flipping the Mystery Mosaic

As Resident Artist of the Wiregrass Museum of Art, I installed the Mystery Mosaic last April. 

This mosaic, at 50 x 50" (125 x 125 cm) is the biggest baddest free standing piece I have designed to this date.  

The coolissime aspect of this project is that this Mosaic would be built by the Visitors to the Museum ! They were the very ones who would actually be laying the 4096 little tiles on the model I had designed without telling anyone what the final mosaic would be ! 

Hence the dramatic "Mystery Mosaic" name !

We had planned it would take 2 month to lay the 4,400 tiles of the mosaic. It took 10 days and a group of very dedicated High School students !

The Mosaic in designed in Opus Pixellatum was realized upside down. 

On July 21st, I flipped the piece diuring the Art after Hours event at the Museum and the public, including some who had participated in the building, were able to see it for the first time.
