It is cut into deep combs that radiate from the foot to the rim, and both ends are torn away into points where the combs break through the edge. There is little colour in it: a green cast gathers toward the two torn ends, yellow-green at one and a smoky grey-green at the other, where the outer edge is left as a smooth band, and the middle and the foot are clear. The black marble block is supplied, and it reaches further across than the cradle standing on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEverything Carried by the Cutting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombed and left almost colourless, the grooves have to do nearly everything here, with only a green cast at the two ends to help them. The combs run from the foot right out to the rim, where their ends break it into points, so the piece has a direction and the tearing reads as the combing finished rather than as damage. A smooth, clear fold crosses the hollow on a diagonal, the one passage the combs leave alone, and it gives the eye a quiet line to measure the rest against. The combs are polished inside as well as out, which is unusual and is what keeps the piece from going grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA console or a broad shelf, with the block given room to be seen as part of it. Set it where the wall behind is plain, since almost everything in it is seen through. Light passes through nearly all of it, and the combs are what catch and hold some of it. Almost nothing carries at a distance except the block; the cradle is a near object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCutting Deeper, and How It Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. The combs are cut deeper, a colour is put into the body, and the block is made to match the cradle's own width. Cut to the width of the cradle, the block stops flush with both of its ends, and the whole thing reads as a single narrow object. The green can also be carried further in from the ends. The cradle is lifted by its foot and the thick roots of the combs, never by either torn end. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA near-colourless cradle combed from foot to rim and green at its torn ends is grouped with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e39cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 x 30 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCombed Near-Colourless Cast Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54099915374939,"sku":"H363","price":1885.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H363.jpg?v=1791990967","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-combed-shell-cradle-resin-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
