{"product_id":"blue-long-low-wave-and-gilt-leaves-resin-sculpture-85cm","title":"Blue Long Low Wave \u0026 Gilt Leaves Resin Sculpture - 85cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a heavy foot, this blue wave rises in a tall curl and then runs out almost flat into a long crest, its colour clearing from deep teal-blue in the foot to colourless frost at the far tip. Two fine silver wires leave the foot within the curl, loop up and run out beneath the crest, and six gilded leaves ride along them in a line that climbs gently as it travels. Everything on it is drawn in a single shallow plane, and it stands on black marble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNo Depth to Read, So Every Leaf Stays Flat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is drawn almost flat, and that decides everything about the leaves. On a deep piece a leaf can sit forward or back and the eye reads it as depth; here there is no depth to read, so a leaf set even slightly out of the plane does not look three-dimensional, it looks wrong, like a drawing with one line lifted off the paper. Every wire is therefore bent in one plane and checked by sighting down the length of the piece rather than from the front, which is the only view that shows a leaf out of true. It is a tedious check and there is no substitute for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a line rather than a mass, so it belongs along a wall and not out on a table. On a console or a long shelf it draws across the wall behind it and the leaves read one after another; in the open it presents its thin edge from half the positions in the room and disappears. What it asks for is length rather than depth, which makes it useful on a narrow ledge where nothing deeper would fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpacing, a Mirrored Version, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. The whole piece keeps to one shallow plane and every leaf has to sit in it, because one leaf out of it turns a drawing into a thicket. The leaf spacing is set at order, the blue is run the whole way through, and a mirrored version is built for a position approached from the left. The rise at one end is drawn steeper or flattened out, which changes the piece more than the leaves do. It travels flat in one long case with the leaves sleeved and the wave bedded, and it is lifted by the solid end and set on its stone. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA long blue wave with six gilded leaves riding in a line beneath its crest stands alongside our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11cm\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 Blue Resin with Gilt Metal Leaves on Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54057370091867,"sku":"L121","price":1822.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L121.jpg?v=1791887793","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-long-low-wave-and-gilt-leaves-resin-sculpture-85cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
