It is broad and shallow front to back, so it presents as a broad upright screen rather than a compact lump. Openings run through it at every level, a dozen or more of them, and the colour is graded: a pale aqua holds the crown and thins out downwards until the foot is almost white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Pierced Screen Graded From Aqua to White\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole surface is frosted, and that is what separates this from a clear casting. Nothing on it is glossy, so it does not throw a highlight anywhere, and the object holds a soft even light that makes the openings read as flat shapes rather than as holes with edges. The mass is genuinely thin front to back, and the piercings crowd towards the top where the material spreads wide, then thin out down the stem, so there is a lot of hole and very little solid at head height and the opposite at the foot. Where two openings nearly meet the material narrows to a finger's width. The aqua is strongest across the top third and fades rather than stopping at a line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 128cm on the block this stands on a floor and reads at standing eye level, which is the right height for it, since a piece with this much hole in it wants something to look through to. A hallway, a landing, a study or a wide corner all work, and a plinth is optional rather than needed. What it does need is depth of field: a wall close behind it turns the openings into dark patches, whereas open space or a window behind them makes them the subject. It is wide, so allow for that on a landing or beside a stair. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrosting, Piercing Density and the Aqua Gradient\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. Three things are specified. The frosting can be taken off in favour of a clear finish, which changes the object completely, and a half-and-half version is made where the crown is frosted and the stem clear. The piercing density is set at order, from the open field here to a tighter one with fewer but broader openings, which suits a room where the piece is seen against a busy background. And the gradient can be reversed, so the colour is held at the foot and the crown runs white, or dropped for a single even tone. Aqua is standard, with a pale green and a smoke grey both made. Its block is black marble and shallow. The sculpture and its block travel in one case, standing, with the openings packed out individually, and it is a two-person lift and a two-person placement because the width makes it awkward rather than heavy. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted screen pierced at every level belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; openings crowding where the mass spreads join it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and pale aqua clearing toward a white foot 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\u003e122cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 25 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 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":53956675699035,"sku":"T091","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T091.jpg?v=1790859450","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/aqua-frosted-scholars-rock-resin-sculpture-128cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
