{"product_id":"clear-branch-bundle-resin-sculpture-42cm","title":"Clear Branch Bundle Resin Sculpture - 42cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis block holds not a trunk but a standing bundle of slender branches, bark still on them, packed upright and leaning against one another. Colourless resin fills the gaps between the stems, so the block is readable straight through in places and dense with timber in others, and the cut ends of every branch show as a scatter of small pale discs across the top face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Standing Bundle of Branches, Bark Left On\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt from many branches rather than one solid section of timber, it behaves quite differently from a log block. Each branch is a different diameter and none is straight: they cross, taper and knot, and where two lean together the resin between them narrows to nothing. The bark is left on and it is rough, flaking and knotted, so the block is full of small dark incidents rather than one broad grain. Every face of the block shows a different arrangement of the same bundle, which means the piece has four fronts and no back. The top is the most detailed face, with the cut ends reading as a pattern of pale rings among the clear resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 42cm its top is about chair-arm height, wide enough for a lamp or a few books, though the pattern underneath is the reason to have it. It is a busy piece and it wants a plain setting: a quiet wall, a plain floor and nothing patterned near it, or the branches stop reading as branches. It is at its best where light comes from the side and rakes across the block face rather than from directly above. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBranch Density and What Cannot Be Repeated\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. Density is the specification here and it changes the piece completely: a loose bundle reads as a few branches standing in glass, with the block obviously transparent, while a packed one reads as a solid mass of timber with the resin barely visible. This version sits towards the packed end. What cannot be specified is the arrangement, because no two bundles of branches sit the same way and none can be reproduced from a drawing, so a repeat order is a comparable piece rather than a matching one. Order two together if a pair is wanted and they will at least be alike in density and species. The block is cut to other dimensions on request. It is crated standing and is best unpacked in the room it will live in, because the cut ends on top are the face most easily knocked against a doorframe. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding branches held in a cast block are close kin to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; for the clear resin side of the piece see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and for its geometry our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Resin with Timber Branches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956814471515,"sku":"J003","price":5062.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J003.jpg?v=1791373606","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-branch-bundle-resin-sculpture-42cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
