{"product_id":"blue-reaching-splash-cast-resin-sculpture-144cm","title":"Blue Reaching Splash Cast Resin Sculpture - 144cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cast resin sculpture reaches as much as it rises: blue at the foot, colourless above, with one arm sweeping up out of the bowl and across the top of it before climbing into a branching crown, and a low spray reaching out past the edge of the stone at the other end. The blue is dense where the material gathers at the bottom and is gone before the first division, so the arms read as spray rather than as water. Each arm divides once and then again, and the ends are left blunt rather than drawn to points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIt Reaches as Much as It Rises\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA form that reaches has to balance on less than it covers, and that is settled before anything else. The arms carry out past the edge of the stone at both ends, so the mass in the foot is doing two jobs at once: it is the visual weight that makes the reach look deliberate, and it is the counterweight that stops the piece being a lever. Neither can be adjusted afterwards. It also means the arms have to be drawn asymmetrically and still look settled - one side carries further than the other, and the piece is turned on its stone until the two read as balanced rather than measured. A form like this that is truly symmetrical looks like a diagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe low spray carries out over the edge of the base, so it needs clear air round it rather than a corner. Put into an angle of a room, one arm is always closer to a wall than the other and the reach stops reading as reach. It wants to be passed rather than faced: the piece changes a great deal between one side and the other, and the difference is most of the interest. At 144cm with its base it suits the floor of a hall or a large room, and the crown comes to about shoulder height, so the eye crosses the clear branches before it drops to the blue in the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBalanced on Less Than It Covers, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The arms hang well outside the foot at both ends, so the piece has to balance on a footprint narrower than its own reach. The reach of the arms is drawn to order, the base comes in this stone or a pale one, and the blue may climb further up the rising arm or stop at the rim of the bowl. The height is cut to suit the room, and the arms can be drawn in closer and heavier for a position where they would be caught. It arrives in one braced crate with each arm faced separately and the stone packed beneath, and it goes together on site by levelling the stone and lowering the casting on by its foot. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue bowl throwing one arm over the top and up into a branching crown keeps this splash with 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\u003e119cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 x 80 x 25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin 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":54029412696411,"sku":"L006","price":5709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L006.jpg?v=1791825823","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-reaching-splash-cast-resin-sculpture-144cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
