Both birds carry their wings at full spread and each wing is scored with fine diagonal combing that follows the line of the feather. The blue is strongest through the two bodies and clears at the wing tips. This is one sculpture rather than a pair sold together, and it comes standing on black marble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Above the Other, Not Beside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo birds on one block becomes a composition problem the moment both pairs of wings are open. Set them side by side at the same height and they read as a mirrored pair, which turns the piece into symmetrical furniture. Here one is lifted clear above the other and set off to one side of it, so the four wings overlap without touching and the group has a top and a bottom. The combing is what keeps that overlap from becoming confusion: each wing is scored along the line of its own feather, so where two cross, the two sets of lines run at different angles and stay separable. On an unworked wing the same overlap would be one flat area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA desk, a console or a wide shelf takes it, and it needs clearance on both sides for the spread rather than depth. A source behind it turns the combing into a set of fine bright lines, which a front light flattens completely. A plain wall behind holds the outline where a busy one breaks it up. One bird is set above the other rather than beside it, which is what makes the two a single composition instead of two copies on one block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Combing, the Blue, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. The blue can be graded from the wing tips instead of from the body, or deepened through both birds. The block can be made in another stone or shape, and the birds are cast at other wingspans on the same pose. A single bird on the same block is made where the arrangement is too busy for the setting, and it is a much simpler thing to place. The combing is cut finer or left off the underside of the wings. It travels in one crate, and it is lifted by the marble block alone, never by a wing or the upturned neck. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo on one block makes it \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e at desk scale; wings spread to full span are \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the blue thins toward the tips in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\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\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 x 19 x 10cm\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":54077225238875,"sku":"H447","price":1903.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H447.jpg?v=1792159855","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-spread-wing-twin-bird-resin-sculpture-75cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
