{"product_id":"blue-splash-column-and-pool-cast-resin-sculpture-100cm","title":"Blue Splash Column \u0026 Pool Cast Resin Sculpture - 100cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this cast resin sculpture a column of water stands in the pool it has just risen from. The pool is a low spread ringed with a crown of jagged spray, as water throws up when something has just gone into it, and the column comes out of the middle of it and twists as it rises, opening near the top into a hollow crest pierced with round holes and a few finger-like spouts. The blue is vivid in the pool and carries on up the whole column in a lighter tone, paling only at the fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Column and the Pool Are One Body of Water\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall piece of sculpture usually stands on something, a stone block, a metal disc or a plinth, and the join between the two becomes part of what is looked at. This one has no join at all: the pool it stands in runs straight up into the column, so there is nothing anywhere on it for the eye to catch on, and the piece reads as a moment of water rather than as a sculpture on a base. That is the whole argument for the design and it is also what makes it awkward. A base can be made separately, checked and remade; here the widest and the tallest parts of the object are the same object, and the pool is both the thing that holds the column up and the crown of spray the eye meets first. Every spike of that crown has to look thrown rather than placed, or the moment is lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pool spreads wider than the column, so measure the surface for the pool and not for the height. At 100cm it would usually be placed by its height, but this one is decided at its foot: the pool needs clear surface all round it with a margin, on a top that does not slope, and its crown of spray will not tolerate being pushed against a wall. Given that, the height is undemanding: the column simply wants a room with some ceiling over it. Light from low down goes into the pool and up the column; light from directly above lights the pool and leaves the column pale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNo Seam Anywhere Between Them, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. There is no seam anywhere between the column and the pool it rises from, so the two read as one body of water and not as a sculpture on a base. The column is drawn to any height over the same pool, and its blue can be deepened along its length or let go sooner. The spread of the pool is set at order, the blue runs to a green or a smoke grey, and a stone base can be added where the piece is wanted lifted. It arrives in one braced case standing upright with the column faced its whole length, and it is unpacked by two people lifting it by the pool at the foot and setting it down level. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA column standing in the pool it rose from is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the two are one piece of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the pool spreads wider than the column, which is an \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e measurement.\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\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54026325033307,"sku":"L145","price":4407.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L145.jpg?v=1791890091","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-splash-column-and-pool-cast-resin-sculpture-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
