Each piece starts from a small model made from a gypsum (plaster) mould. Using extrusion, impression, casting, and modelling, artist creates his forms in segments which make up the final life-size sculpture. Zyga is fascinated by the rough texture of chamotte clay, which has a great deal of grog; a fired clay, ground into coarse particles and added to wet clay to produce a gritty, rough texture called "tooth." Texture and patterns are formed across the figures as clay segments are built up and pressed next to each other. These modelling techniques create an organic surface texture reminiscent of earth and stone. The garments are coloured with glazes, pigments and engobes made of coloured clay slips that enhance their texture, pattern, and form.
