Fine wires rise from the little crest and arc over the top, and along them runs a line of gilded leaves, so the leaves travel across the piece above the water. The resin pales from aqua blue at the foot to a frosted, milky white in the fingers of both crests, and the wave rises from a compact black marble block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGilded Leaves Carried High Over a Splayed Crest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo materials that behave nothing alike share this piece, and the design keeps them apart. The water is heavy, fluted and translucent, drawn upward in fingers; the leaves are small, bright and opaque, and the wires that hold them are kept as fine as their span allows, so that they almost disappear and the leaves seem to drift. Each leaf is angled a little differently along the run, as leaves on a current would be, and the line they make answers the curve of the tall crest beneath it. The aqua stays in the trough and the fingers are frosted a soft white, so the gold of the leaves reads against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding 101cm, it suits a sideboard or a console at about waist height, so that the leaves sit at or just above the eye, in a hall or a living room with a quiet wall behind. The wires need a little clearance on every side, since they reach past the base, so keep it off a crowded surface and away from a door that swings. Light from one side makes the gilding flash and turns the aqua luminous. From a distance the crest and the arc of leaves read as two lines; close to, the fingers of spray and each leaf come out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Leaves, the Aqua and Its Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. The number of leaves and the length of their run are settled with the order, the aqua can be taken deeper or changed for another tint, and the wave can also be made without the leaves, as water alone. With no leaves it is a quieter piece that asks for less room around it. It travels in one crate with the leaves wrapped apart from the water and the wires braced, and it is unpacked holding the wave at its foot, never by a wire. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGilded leaves arching on fine wires over an aqua wave with frosted fingers take this piece into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e101cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57cm\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\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAqua-Tinted Cast Resin with Gilt Leaves on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54208486113627,"sku":"L116","price":2033.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L116.jpg?v=1791887135","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/aqua-splayed-crest-wave-and-gilt-leaves-resin-sculpture-101cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
