All of that is clear resin, polished, so the piece is mostly read as edges and highlights. At the foot, where the water would be turning over on itself, a small koi in amber leaps clear, and the whole wave rises from a low black block that it stands on and that comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Wave With Something Living In It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpray is the hardest thing to cut in a solid material, because it has to look like it is moving in something that cannot. The fingers are therefore all different: no two are the same length, none is parallel to another, and each thins at a slightly different rate, which is what stops the crest reading as a comb. They are cut from the tip inward, since a finger that breaks takes the ones beside it with it. The koi is the opposite job. It is small, it is the only thing with colour, and it has to be modelled well enough to be worth looking at closely, so it is worked as a separate piece to a finer finish than the wave and seated into the water afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wave has a direction and wants to break into the room rather than across it, so set it where you approach from the side the spray points: a hall, an entrance, a wide landing, the end of a run of cabinets. At 120cm it suits a bare stretch of floor, or a low plinth where the crest is wanted nearer eye level. Light from behind or the side lights every finger of the crest and the koi holds its amber; a downlight flattens the wave into a grey mass and only the fish stays visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Two Parts, the Colour and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. The koi can be made in amber or in red, green or clear to match the water, and a second fish can be added at the crest. The wave itself is made in clear resin as here or with a blue or green tint through it, and a frosted finish is offered. Its height is set at order, from a cabinet-top size to a full floor-standing scale. It arrives in one crate with the crest packed against a shaped former and the koi seated already; carry it by the body of the wave, never by the spray. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoi at the foot of a wave belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a crest split into fingers of spray leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a wave polished to edges and highlights 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\u003eWave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH120 x W75 x D23cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH29 x W20.5 x D12.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin with an Amber Fish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020858839387,"sku":"R323","price":5197.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L043_R323.jpg?v=1791316557","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-breaking-wave-with-an-amber-koi-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
