1. Take the above 3D computer sculpture and create actual forms by modelling in ceramics and fire to final smooth glazed surface (white transparency glaze, white clay)

2. Coat with photosensitive emulsion

3. Project black and white compupter 2D designs or photographs of the sculptural form

4. Develop in large volume container of developer and fixer solutions

5. Resin coat to UV/scuff protect final image surface of sculpture

6. Hand paint selected areas
