The arch rises from a broad, ribbed foot, leans as it climbs, turns over at the top and runs out almost level, thinning to a rounded end that reaches past the last drop. Everything is colourless and polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDroplets Hanging Off the Underside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA droplet that is about to fall and a droplet that has stopped are the same shape at different weights. Too small and it reads as a bead stuck to the underside; too large and it looks like it is already falling and the piece has caught it late. The right weight is a narrow band, and it is different for each drop because each hangs from a different thickness of material: the one at the bend hangs from the heavy turn of the arch, the other two from the thinner reach beyond it. They also have to be unequal in length. A row of matched drops reads as decoration; drops at different stages of falling read as one moment caught, which is the whole of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe droplets are the whole point and they are underneath, so at 95cm it needs to be met with the eye at or below the height of the arch. From above, the drops are hidden by the curve they hang from and the piece is a plain arc. Anywhere it can be approached from the front with the eye at or under the top of the curve will show them. It is colourless throughout and takes its tone from behind as well as below, so a dark ground gives the arch an outline and a pale one makes the droplets the only thing that reads. Light from behind and to one side fills each drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEach One About to Fall, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The droplets hang off the underside of the arch on nothing, and each one has to be the right weight to look about to fall. The droplet count is set at order, a pale blue is carried through the arch on request, and the span is drawn to suit the position. The height is cut to order as well. It arrives in one braced crate standing on its foot, with the arch braced end to end and every drop padded separately, and it should be lifted only by the foot. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater arching over and starting to fall is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the casting is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and droplets on the underside are \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e detail.\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\u003e95cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54029414662491,"sku":"L282","price":5709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L282.jpg?v=1791907033","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-arching-water-and-droplets-resin-sculpture-95cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
