{"product_id":"blue-splash-spire-and-spray-ring-resin-sculpture-75cm","title":"Blue Splash Spire \u0026 Spray Ring Resin Sculpture - 75cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this cast resin sculpture a spire of water rises out of a ring of spray, blue at the foot and clear at the top. The spire is a single column pierced by round and oval openings, leaning well out to one side as it climbs and opening at its head into curling, forked prongs, and the blue in it is concentrated in the bottom third where the spray gathers. The spray itself is a low ring of separate fingers running outwards, with a hoop of water looping round the foot of the spire, and it spreads wider than anything above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Spray Reaches Further Than the Spire\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost splash pieces put the fragile part at the top, where it can be seen and protected in one gesture. This one puts it at the bottom and on the outside. The spray ring is the widest thing on the piece and the thinnest material anywhere in it, and it sits at exactly the height a hand reaches for when the piece is being moved, so it is the part that has to survive being picked up, packed, unpacked and set down. That governs how it is faced in transit and how it is handled on site, and it is why the piece is lifted by the column and never by the ring. It also governs the drawing: the fingers rise outwards and upwards from broad roots and taper to their tips, because a finger that is thin where it starts is a lever waiting for a knock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spray ring reaches wider than the spire, so it needs clearance at the sides rather than above. Nothing about the height is demanding, since at 75cm it sits at a comfortable eye line on any ordinary top, but the ring wants a hand's width of empty space all the way round it, which is more than the outline suggests. A position in a corner or beside a lamp base puts the fingers where they can be caught. Light from low down and to one side runs along the spray and picks out each finger separately; light from overhead lights the column and leaves the ring in its own shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Thinnest Part Is the Outside One, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pieces take 3–4 weeks and bespoke commissions 5–6. The spray ring reaches out past the spire and is thin where it does, which makes it the first thing to suffer in handling. The spire is set at whatever height suits the position, and the blue can be replaced with a green. The spread of the spray is drawn to order, the ring itself is optional, and the marble base comes in black or a pale stone. It travels in one foam-lined case with the spray ring faced individually and the base boxed apart, and it is assembled on site by levelling the base and lowering the piece on by its column. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue spray ringing the foot of a pierced, tilting spire places this piece 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\u003e69cm\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\u003e32cm\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 Resin, Graded from Blue to Clear, 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":54026322051419,"sku":"L033","price":2378.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L033.jpg?v=1791883170","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-splash-spire-and-spray-ring-resin-sculpture-75cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
