{"product_id":"blue-fluked-tail-resin-sculpture-120cm","title":"Blue Fluked Tail Resin Sculpture - 120cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fluke rises out of a ring of thrown water with droplets standing in the air around it, no two of them at one height. Pale blue through the fluke and the ring beneath, with the thrown droplets nearly colourless. The splash ring is the foot and nothing further is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Tail and Its Water Drawn as One Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difficulty in a splash is that water has no outline of its own, so the ring is drawn as a set of heights rather than as a shape. Every droplet is placed against its neighbours and none is repeated, which is why the whole of it reads as a moment instead of as a pattern. Water and the tail read as one body, and that is the whole argument: there is no line anywhere between the fluke and the ring it rises from. The fluke is polished and the ring beneath left finely ridged, so the water reads as moving and the tail as smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wants a hall with room to pass on every side of it. Anything plain will do behind it; the droplets need a quiet ground more than the tail does. Light from above catches every droplet at once, which is the position the piece is drawn for. From the doorway it is one rising line, and the droplets do not separate until you are close enough to touch it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMore Droplets, a Wider Ring, and Four People\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. Ask us to change the number of droplets, to widen the ring, or to run a tint through the water. Widen the ring and the droplets are re-spaced around it, because what makes it read as a splash is that no two stand at the same height. Palleted in a single crate, and it goes straight to its position. Four people. The droplets stand proud all round it and they are what will catch. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fluked tail rising out of its own splash belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its pale blue water and droplets join our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a hall with passing room on every side receives it among 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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin in Blue and Clear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54147351609691,"sku":"Z612","price":9322.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z612.jpg?v=1790778368","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-fluked-tail-resin-sculpture-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
