The body is colourless throughout, and three finishes are made on this form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Arms, Each Carrying a Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring openings are what define this rock. In most of these rocks a void is an irregular hole; here two of them close into near-circles, one in each arm, so the piece reads as two loops held up on a single stem. Between and around them the material is drawn thin, nowhere much wider than a fist, and it twists as it rises so the two arms present differently from every angle. The stem beneath is the narrowest part of the whole object and takes a visible turn about a third of the way up. The material is left colourless, so the rings are drawn only by their own bright edges, and every turn of the stem shows as a line of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 86cm it stands well on a study shelf or a sideboard, and the base needs nothing under it. The two rings are the reason to give it space: they want something to be seen through, so open room or a window behind is worth more to this piece than a handsome surface under it. It reads well from three sides because of the twist in the stem, so a spot approached from two directions is not wasted. A lamp beside it rather than above brings out the edges of the arms. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Finishes, and How Far the Arms Reach\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The finish is the main decision because the same form reads three different ways. Colourless is standard and the most architectural, and gold leaf can be flecked through it to order. An amber version runs warm honey through both arms and down the stem to a deeper orange at the foot, and it is the one that suits a panelled or a warm room. An aqua version does the same in blue-green and is the cooler of the two. On the form: the reach of the two arms is set at order, and drawn in they read as a single cleft mass while taken further out they need a safer position. The ring openings can be widened until the arms become bands, or tightened to ordinary voids. The rock can be scaled up or kept compact. It travels standing in a fitted case with both arms sleeved and the stem braced, since the stem is the part a knock would find, and it is a one-person lift that two should place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless rock branching from one stem belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; arms leaning apart from a twisted stem join it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin outlined only by its edges suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm, Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin with Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956675141979,"sku":"T076","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T076.jpg?v=1790859421","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-branching-scholars-rock-resin-sculpture-86cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
