Figures in an Open Landscape
A family photograph, rebuilt as a panoramic band of natural stone and installed the length of a café wall.
- Size
- 125 cm × 350 cm (49.2 in × 137.8 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
The customer's own photograph starts this one: a family working across a wheat field. Three and a half metres wide, and nothing cropped out of it — the treeline stays, the figures stay, at the proportions the picture already had.
Panoramas are harder than they look. The eye travels along the work instead of standing in front of it, so any drift in the grid shows up immediately. It was installed above the banquette seating in a café, under a warm strip light that rakes across the surface.
The photograph, and the stone
Drag the handle across. On one side is the picture the customer sent us; on the other, the simulation we built from it — same framing, same crop. The only thing that changes is that the image is now 1 cm × 1 cm micro-mosaics in natural stone.
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.
