Fine silver wires loop down from that crest through the opening of the crescent in long S-curves to the foot, and four gold-toned fish ride along them, two of them close together, each facing the way its wire travels. The blue is deepest in the foot and lightens steadily upward, turning to frosted white at the tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlue Water Breaking Over a Gold-Toned Shoal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shoal is not a row. The wires here are drawn as loops rather than as straight stems, curving down from the crest through the hollow of the crescent to the foot, so the fish travel through the wave's own opening. Two fish that look well spaced from the front can sit close when the piece is turned, and there is no position from which all of it can be checked at once, so the whole assembly is set up and then walked round. Against the loops, the blue does the opposite work: dense and dark in the knot of water at the foot, paling as the wave rises until the crest breaks into frosted, dripping fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 68cm it gives a broad study desk or a sideboard its focal point, with the shoal meeting the eye of someone seated nearby. The wires carry the fish out past the edge of the marble on one side, so it needs clear room on that side; put it hard against a book or a lamp and the outermost fish is hidden and the shoal stops reading as a shoal. The stone takes a small footprint but the wires reach well beyond it, which is what to measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Shoal, the Blue and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. The wire loops curve down through the hollow of the crescent and carry the fish clear of the wave and apart from one another, so their spacing is settled with the wave already standing. To commission, the blue can go deeper or stay paler towards the crest, the gold-toned finish can be offered in silver, and the loops drawn wider or closer. It travels with the wave crated upright and the shoal boxed apart, and the wires go into the body once it is in place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue crescent breaking over a gold-toned shoal on looping wires settles in with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\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 with Gold-Toned Metal Fish 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":54054188974427,"sku":"L125","price":1835.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L125.jpg?v=1791887822","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-wave-crescent-and-gilt-shoal-resin-sculpture-68cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
