On one side a solid wall of water, at its deepest blue, curls up to a sharp crest; across the hollow it shelters, a stack of slim ribs runs from that wall to the far side, with open gaps between them that widen towards the rim; and on the far side the water breaks into a churning splash. Out of the splash a nearly colourless spire climbs to a forked tip, with curled fingers of spray rising beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSolid Crest, Open Ribs and a Clear Spire\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difficulty in a form like this is making the open part and the solid part belong to one movement. Here the ribs leave the crest wall at different heights and curve across to the splash, so the change from mass to air happens gradually across the hollow rather than at an edge, and the ribs themselves are deliberately unequal in length and spacing. Ruled to a regular pitch they would read as a grille, which is the one thing a wave is not. The aqua runs deepest in the crest wall and at the foot, pales across the ribs and fades almost to nothing in the spire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRising 70cm on its block of black marble, the wave suits a console or a sideboard in front of a window, where the gaps between the ribs fill with light. Against a dark wall the gaps go black and the ribs merge into one shape, so a pale wall, a lit panel or a window behind it keeps them open. Turn it to the way people come into the room rather than square to the furniture, so the ribs and the spire are met first. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRib Spacing, Tint and the Way It Travels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The spacing of the ribs is agreed first, since it sets how much of the room shows through the hollow. On commission the ribs can be drawn closer or more open, the aqua deepened towards sea green or kept this pale, and the spire left off where a quieter outline is wanted; the whole wave can be scaled to suit its position. It travels in a single case with each rib faced and the marble boxed apart, and on site the marble is levelled first and the wave lowered onto it, held by the solid crest wall and never by the ribs. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn aqua wave holding open ribs between its crest and a clear spire belongs 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\u003e64cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27cm\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 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":54029412893019,"sku":"L102","price":2237.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L102.jpg?v=1791886594","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-ribbed-fan-wave-cast-resin-sculpture-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
