{"product_id":"black-packed-branch-resin-sculpture-43cm","title":"Black Packed Branch Resin Sculpture - 43cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis block is filled edge to edge with dark bark-on branches, packed tightly enough that almost no resin shows between them and the whole block reads black from across a room. Two slender branches have been peeled back to bare honey-gold timber and stand among the dark ones, and they are the only light on the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBranches Packed Until the Block Reads Black\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is the whole story here. Branches are packed in until the resin between them is barely visible, and the effect is a solid dark mass with a faint internal structure, nearer to a slab of charcoal than to a clear case with objects inside. Close to, the branches resolve: bark textures, knots, and the crossings where one leans over another. The two peeled branches are the design decision on the piece, because without them the block would read as one flat dark rectangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 43cm the top sits at a useful height for a lamp and a book together. It is a very dark piece and it needs a pale setting: against white plaster or limestone it reads as a black monolith, while against a dark wall it disappears and the two gold branches are all that survives. Light from the side is what brings the bark textures out. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Block Costs What It Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. Its price reflects the filling. A single log section is one piece of timber positioned once; a block packed this tightly is a great many separate branches, each of which has to be cut to length, sorted for diameter and placed so it leans against its neighbours without leaving a gap that would read as a void in a dark block. That is hours rather than minutes, and it is why the price sits where it does. Density can be specified looser, which brings the cost down and turns the piece into a transparent block with branches in it, a different object entirely. The number of peeled branches is set at order, from none for a solid black block to four or five for a much lighter piece. It is heavy for its size and needs two people from the crate to the floor in one go. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBranches packed this densely belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; for other dark castings browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and for blocks read as pure mass our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract 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\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Resin with Timber Branches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53958014566747,"sku":"J011","price":7965.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J011.jpg?v=1791373657","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/black-packed-branch-resin-sculpture-43cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
