{"product_id":"bright-blue-curling-breaking-wave-resin-sculpture-53cm","title":"Bright Blue Curling Breaking Wave Resin Sculpture - 53cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wave taken at the moment of breaking, the crest curled over and the water beneath it standing up in a row of separate pointed jets. Bright blue fills the whole wave, the standing water and the curled crest alike, deepest where the jets crowd together. Nothing is supplied under it. The broken water at the base is what the piece stands on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater Caught at the Break\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelled water is unusually unforgiving. Every viewer has watched a wave break, so a form that is nearly right reads as wrong far more loudly than an abstract one ever would. The crest and the jets are the same body, so the eye follows the curl over the top and comes down into the points without ever meeting an edge, which is what makes it read as one movement of water rather than as a sculpture of several. The separate points of the break are cast with the body and not added to it, which is why none of them has a join at the root. Polished everywhere, including between the points where a brush will never reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sideboard or a wide console, placed so the break is seen across rather than end on. A pale wall lets the blue crest read against it; a dark one swallows the colour. Light from behind fills the crest and turns the standing points into silhouettes, which is what this piece is built for. The blue carries right across a room, crest and base together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCurling It Further, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pieces take 3–4 weeks and bespoke commissions 5–6. The crest is curled further over, the blue is deepened, and the points at the base are drawn out longer. Curl the crest further and the base is widened under it, because everything overhanging is carried from there. One crate, with the broken base packed solid underneath and the crest given clear air above it. Two people. The crest is thin and it is the part that wants to be grabbed.
