How to get huge grain?

from Omar Ozenir (omar.ozenir@turkcell.com.tr)
Hello, I once saw a great 30x40 B&W print in an exhibition. What particularly struck me upon inspecting the print closer was the very large grain. I could clearly see the large (hexagonal?) pieces of grain. It was as if a large amount of "tiles" of grain had been spread out on the paper. Since then I have always wondered how the photographer did that.

Does anybody know how to get this large grain?

All Ilford and Kodak films are available for me. My standard developer is ID-11 but I could also use Dektol. Unfortunately I won't be able to use any Agfa product. (FWIW, I have 1.5 years of B&W experience and I have my own darkroom)

Thank you very much for any help in advance.

Kind Regards, omar
