At the top it turns over through a knot of amber and clear swirls and throws out one long fluke that sweeps far to the side, tapering to a fine point. The fluke is amber, streaked a deep red-orange along its leading edge and at the tip, and beneath it trails a thin clear lobe with a ragged, pointed edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Long Amber Fluke Swept Clear of the Trunk\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole piece turns on the meeting of a clear trunk and a coloured fluke. The trunk is left colourless, its surface rippled and faintly faceted so that it reads as water heaving upward rather than as a solid post, and it leans as it rises, which gives the form its momentum before the fluke has even begun. Colour is saved for the top: amber gathers in the knot where the trunk turns over, then runs out along the fluke, deepening to a red-orange line on its leading edge and a fine red point at the tip. Beneath it the clear lobe is left thin and ragged, so the fluke has a hard, bright upper edge and a soft trailing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs floor and air around it, in the open corner of a large living room, a wide entrance hall or a hotel lobby, so that people can circle it and catch the fluke against the space beyond. Leave the fluke room to reach out to its side, well clear of walls and doorways. Daylight from a window behind it sets the amber glowing, and against a plain pale wall the outline of the clear trunk stays easy to follow. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAmber, Clear Resin and Getting It Into Place\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. Made to commission, the amber may lean further towards red or soften to honey, the red-orange edging can stay or go, and the trunk can be polished smooth in place of its ripples. The fluke can also reach out further or sit closer to the trunk, and the tail can be produced at a different scale with its sweep in proportion. Its crate holds it upright, the fluke braced and the foot bedded, and it is moved with hands on the trunk and beneath the foot, never by the fluke. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear rippled trunk throwing one long amber fluke out to the side places this tail among 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\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e81cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin with an Amber Fluke Edged in Red-Orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371919429979,"sku":"H459","price":7054.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H459.jpg?v=1792092741","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-and-amber-swept-whale-tail-resin-sculpture-108cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
