St. Pius X Catholic church and school had an idea for a focal point for their new community hall—a mural depicting the Biblical “Last Supper”… with 12 school children as stand-ins for Apostles!
Drawing inspiration from DaVinci, we conducted photoshoots with school children onsite, a shoot with a stand-in for Jesus, and composited the photos into a full montage. Then we used a digital natural media application to make it look painterly. To produce the finished piece we divided the finished art into a 480 piece grid, printed each segment on 4" ceramic tiles, and assembled the tiles onsite inside a 24' x 5' relief built into the room’s wall.
The outcome exceeded expectations of the client and stands as one of my most difficult yet fulfilling projects – making a dream reality.
