From a narrow foot the material rises and divides into two arms that lean apart and point upward, enclosing a tall oval opening between them, with a second round opening low in the stem. The colour is a light cyan throughout with white clouding through the arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Narrow Foot That Divides Into Two Arms\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything here is decided by how little the piece stands on. The foot is barely wider than a wrist, and from there the mass climbs, thickens, and splits into two unequal arms, the left one rising further and drawn to a point and the right one broader and ending in a ragged crest. Between them the opening is a long oval, wider at the middle than at either end, and it is a very large void for the mass around it. That makes the piece read as a growing thing rather than as a stone, and it is why it looks different from every side: from the front the two arms frame the opening, and from the side they close and the object becomes a single rising line. Colour is carried in the material, palest at the tips where the mass is least and gathering to a clear cyan through the middle, with white clouds through both arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 68cm it suits a console table, a credenza or a reception desk, tall enough to take a lamp's place rather than sit beside one, and the block needs nothing under it. The narrow foot means it must go somewhere it will not be knocked, and somewhere with space around it: the opening between the arms is the subject, and it needs something behind to look through to, so clear wall or a window behind is worth far more than a plain surface under it. A lamp set beside it, not above, is what pulls the two limbs apart. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Reach of the Arms, and the Cyan Behind Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. What gets settled at order is the reach: how far apart the two limbs are drawn, which is the only decision here that changes the object fundamentally rather than cosmetically. Held close they make a single cleft object, considerably calmer and more solid; taken wide they become nearly a drawing in the air. On finish, this pale tint is standard, with a green, an amber and a version carrying no pigment at all, and the strength of tone is set across the whole range at order. The cloudiness is optional. Other heights are built, and when it is built up the studio thickens the footing, which is worth knowing because it shifts the balance of the piece. Packing follows the shape: it goes out upright with each limb in its own moulded pocket, one person can lift it and two should place it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA narrow foot dividing into two arms belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a tall oval held between the arms joins it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and cyan clouded with white through the body suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 15 x 6cm, Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin with Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956670325083,"sku":"T021","price":2092.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T021.jpg?v=1790858001","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/aqua-branching-scholars-rock-resin-sculpture-68cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
