Colourless through the mass with a gold band at its waist and a gold spray at the crown, standing on white marble. A white marble plinth is supplied under it, with a steel collar between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen the Plinth Becomes Half the Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plinth that carries nearly half the height stops being a base and becomes half the composition, which is why the collar between the two is worked rather than hidden. Fissures cut into a colourless body are read from both sides at once, so the mass has twice the internal drawing of an opaque one the same size, and the gold at the waist is the single place where that reading stops. A clear mass on a white plinth means the stone is read straight up through the material, so the bottom third of the casting takes its tone from what it is standing on. The mass takes a full polish and the marble is honed, so the two never return the same highlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFloor work. Nearly half of what you are buying is plinth, and none of it is going onto furniture. A plain wall of any tone behind it. A white plinth needs the ground behind it to be quiet rather than dark. Light from above finds the gold band and the spray at once; light from the foot lights the marble and leaves the casting flat. The gold reads across a room and the fissures in the mass are the reason to come nearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCutting the Plinth Differently, and Three Crates\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The gold band can be left off, the spray can be taken out, and other plinth heights are available. Specify another plinth height and the casting is reproportioned to it, because the gold band has to sit at about the height of a standing eye. Three crates, one for each part, and they stack in the order they come out. Three people for the plinth. The casting goes on after the collar is level. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold-toned steel set against a clear casting leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the fissured mass belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and it stands at an entrance among 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\u003e81.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.8 x 36.8 x 5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41 x 41 x 72.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin and Stainless Steel on White Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54113483817307,"sku":"Z333","price":5063.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z333.jpg?v=1790772254","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-and-gold-fissured-mass-resin-sculpture-159cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
