{"product_id":"clear-and-aqua-bubbled-block-stack-resin-sculpture-47cm","title":"Clear \u0026 Aqua Bubbled Block Stack Resin Sculpture - 47cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree cut masses leaning into one another: two clear blocks filled with trapped bubbles and, wedged at the joint between them, a thinner block of aqua resin. The upper block leans out at an angle over the standing one, so the stack reads as caught in the act of settling. Nothing is supplied beneath it; the lowest block is the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAir Used as the Subject\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrapped air is usually the fault a casting is judged by, and using it as the subject means the interior has to be as considered as any surface. Trapped air is the defect a clear casting is normally judged on. Using it deliberately means keeping the distribution regular enough to look intended and loose enough not to look printed, which is a narrower margin than it sounds. A body carrying this many trapped bubbles behaves like weather rather than glass: the bubbles catch light the surface does not, so the inside of each block is busier than its outside. Polished on the faces and left crisp on the arrises, so each block keeps a sharp outline around the aqua at the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low table or a shelf at seated height, where the interior is on the eye line. Something dark behind it. The bubbles disappear against white and come forward against a deep ground. A light source above and slightly behind fills the bubbles and leaves the faces quiet. From across a room it is three pale masses; the field of bubbles is a close-range fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClearing the Bubbles, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. The density of the bubbles can be raised or cleared out, the aqua can be run stronger, and the block count can change. Take the bubbles out and the aqua block reads as the only event left, which turns a piece about weather into a drawing. One crate, and it stands as it arrives with no assembly. One person. Lift from underneath the bottom block with both hands and do not grip the leaning one. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBubbled blocks leaning into one another, as here, stand among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the three-part lean belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the trapped-air casting joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e47cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with Trapped Air\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54110885642587,"sku":"Z044","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z044-2.jpg?v=1790875536","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-and-aqua-bubbled-block-stack-resin-sculpture-47cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
