Black marbling is drawn through a colourless body in long streaks that follow the twist of the figure rather than crossing it. A block of black marble is included, and the swept foot covers nearly all of its top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMarbling That Reads as Drawing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf the seven colourways this is the only one whose pigment has no depth of its own, which makes it the graphic member of a family otherwise built on tone. Streaks that follow the form and streaks that cut across it are two different objects. These follow it, which means the marbling has to be laid out against the twist of the figure before anything else is decided, and no two castings come out with the streaks in the same places. Black in a clear body is the only colour here that reads as drawing: it has no depth of its own, so every streak looks like a line laid on the surface even though it runs through the mass. Polished to a gloss, which is what makes the black read as ink rather than as shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA console, a hall table or a shelf with a pale wall behind it. White or near white. Black marbling on a dark ground disappears entirely. Strong single-source light is best; diffuse light lets the black and the clear average into grey. The streaks read from across a room because of the contrast, and the form of the figure arrives before them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFiner Marbling, and Getting It There\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. The marbling can be run finer or coarser, a second colour can be introduced, and white stone can be supplied instead of black. Run the marbling finer and it stops being drawing and becomes tone, which changes the figure from graphic to soft. One crate, arriving on its block, ready to place. One person, lifting at the block with the figure kept vertical. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear resin streaked with black marbling, as here, stands among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the long black streaks follow the twist into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and marbled work in other colours is in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Marbled Black and Clear 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":54110888591707,"sku":"Z034","price":1957.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z034.jpg?v=1790765520","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/black-marbled-windblown-figure-resin-sculpture-64cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
