In 2015, when I exhibited pieces for the Hamam mosaic in Brazil, visitors asked for a similar mosaic for their house in Washington. Years went by…<\/p>\n

Floor mosaic in private residence, Ayvalik, Turkey 4m2, natural stone<\/p><\/div>\n

We have since moved to Washington and I now live in here and in Berlin. In September 2023, I met our friends again and asked them if they were still thinking about the mosaic they had asked me for so many years ago. I met them in their house, we looked for a place and found a suitable niche above the bathtub. One of the fish from the Ayvalik mosaic could swim well there!\"\"<\/p>\n

I presented them with 4 designs for the 45×29″ niche and an estimate, they chose one design and accepted the budget.<\/span>Design_M&C_Oct_23<\/a><\/p>\n

In November and December 2023, I produced the mosaic on a temporary support in my studio in Berlin. I glued the tesserae upside down onto craft paper.<\/p>\n

When I was finished after 40 hours, I was able to cut the mosaic apart and pack it in pieces between polystyrene sheets for transportation to Washington.<\/p>\n
