Colourless throughout, with the carved wave reading white where the cuts are deepest. No base comes with it; the cylinder is cut level underneath and needs nothing else to stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Wave That Is a Hollow, Not a Relief\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you are looking at is an absence. The wave is cut back into the block rather than raised on it, and it reads as a raised form only because light collects in the cut and not on the flat around it. Turn it away from a source and the whole thing very nearly disappears. Cutting into a solid body from the outside puts the wave inside the block rather than on it: what you are looking at is a hollow, and it reads as a raised form because the light collects in it. Polished over the whole outer wall, with the carving left as cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it on a cabinet or a wide desk, close enough to be looked into. A dark ground behind it, so the carving has something to be pale against. Light from behind is what it is arranged for; the carving fills and the rest of the block stays empty. From a distance it is a plain cylinder; the wave is a near-view fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCarving the Other Face, and One Short Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. On request the carving is cut on the other face, another subject is worked into it, or colour goes into the block. Cut the carving deeper and the wall thickens behind it, because what is taken out has to leave something to take it out of. A short crate, and it needs only lifting clear of it. Two people. A solid block of this size weighs more than it looks. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear cylinder with a wave cut into it stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its plain, exact outline suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the carved block belongs with 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Carved\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54161181802843,"sku":"Z514","price":5671.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z514.jpg?v=1790775472","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-carved-wave-cylinder-resin-sculpture-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
