PET PORTRAITS

Mosaic Portraits

We offer a completely hand-made realistic portrait in a black, white, and grey palette, made out of the ashes of your pet. Over a lengthy period of experimentation, Heide Hatry has developed a process, in which the loose ash particles are affixed to a substrate upon which they rest gently, until, through several applications, a rich and textured likeness is achieved. Her portraits convey an intensely personal, beautiful, and eloquent sensation, akin in their materiality to Buddhist sand paintings, the often memorializing work of the artist Anselm Kiefer, or the sfumato technique of Gerhard Richter's photo paintings of the 1960s.

The portraits are presented in deep wooden shadow-boxes (5.5 x 7 x 2 - 11 x 14 x 3 inches, which can be equipped to contain the remainder of the ashes if so desired).
Each portrait requires 1.5-3 ounces of ashes, and a portrait photograph.

Cinerary Photo Portraits

We offer a second more modestly priced option, also a hand-made realistic portrait made out of the ashes of your pet. In this process a photograph is transferred directly upon a pure and slightly uneven surface of ashes or an emulsion of ashes.

The portraits are presented in the same way as above, and each portrait requires 3-6 ounces of ashes, and a portrait photograph.
