Atatürk Eye Study
A single eye and brow, taken to 280 cm × 185 cm — a study in how far a photograph can be enlarged before the stone takes over from the picture.
- Size
- 280 cm × 185 cm (110.2 in × 72.8 in)
- Tesserae
- 1 cm × 1 cm natural stone
- Module
- 31.2 cm × 31.2 cm
Every piece starts as a simulation, so you can see how your image breaks into 1 cm × 1 cm micro-mosaics before a single stone is cut.
About the piece
This is 2.8 metres of a single eye. At that scale you stop reading a picture and start seeing the stone: every lash is a handful of pieces, and the iris shifts from grey to blue across about four of them.
We photographed it standing on its own feet in the showroom, edges and fixings in view, because that is how a panel this size actually behaves — something you move and mount, not something you frame. If you want to judge the surface properly, ask for a sample. We post real stone rather than a printed swatch.
If you are thinking about one
Send us an image — a photograph, a painting, a drawing, whatever you have. We will tell you the smallest size it can be made at and still read properly, show you the simulation, and quote from there. Custom design work usually runs three to four weeks in production, and the piece ships as numbered 31.2 cm modules with a layout guide, which is what keeps the installation simple at the other end.
