Amber at the outside edges deepens to rust toward the middle, so the slab reads darkest wherever there is most of it. Nothing comes under it; the slab stands on the edge it was cast with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Holes and a Coarse Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoarse and transparent are difficult neighbours. A rough face throws light back before it can reach the mass, so the deeper the pitting goes the darker the body reads, and neither can be settled on its own. The two holes are not the same size and are not opposite one another, so from most angles you see through one and past the other, and only from directly in front do both open at once. The pitting goes into the mass rather than sitting on it, and the two holes worked through the slab have the same coarse wall as the outside. Left rough over the whole outside, with the pitting deep enough to hold a shadow at any angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA desk, a shelf or a hall table, where the holes can be looked through. A pale ground behind, since the holes will frame whatever is there. Light from behind comes through the two holes and through the thinnest part of the mass, and nowhere else. The outline and the two holes are what carry; the pitting is entirely a close matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmoothing It Back, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. More holes or fewer are worked, the surface is smoothed, and the rust is taken toward brown. Smooth the surface and the colour reads darker, because the pitting was scattering light out of the mass. How many holes and where they fall is open, and so is how far the pitting is taken, though the two are decided together rather than one after the other. One piece in a fitted crate, bedded on the standing edge. One person, though it is dense and wants both hands. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore rough-surfaced forms like this pierced slab are found among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, with further amber and rust castings in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and pieces sized for a shelf in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Amber to Rust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101665546587,"sku":"Z002","price":4117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z002.jpg?v=1790759298","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-and-rust-pierced-craggy-slab-resin-sculpture-53cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
