{"product_id":"clear-dense-gold-fleck-mountain-resin-sculpture-65cm","title":"Clear Dense Gold Fleck Mountain Resin Sculpture - 65cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold leaf is laid thickly through the body of this colourless massif, from the summit to the foot. Two summits rise close together at the centre with lower ground falling away on both sides, and the faces between them are drawn in broad planes rather than in small steps. Nothing is supplied to stand it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDense Flake Asks for Simple Modelling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlake at this density competes with everything else in the object. Each piece of leaf catches light on its own account, so a face broken into small steps ends up as a field of glints with no direction in it and the modelling is simply lost. The answer is to go the other way: fewer and larger planes, each one big enough to read as a face in spite of what is suspended in front of it. It means this piece is modelled more simply than a plain casting would be, which is the opposite of what anyone expects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDense leaf is at its best where the light moves. A room with daylight on one side and a lamp on the other gives the piece two readings and a third as anyone walks between them; a single fixed downlighter fixes it in one. It needs little depth, which suits a console or a broad shelf, and a dark wall behind lifts the gold clear of its surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDensity Against Detail, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. The leaf is dense enough to compete with the form, so the faces are drawn broad and few rather than small and many. The density is dropped and the modelling opened up with it, the flake is torn finer, and a tint is carried through the body. A lighter loading allows a far more detailed mountain, which is a different object and is built as one. It travels in one padded case with both summits faced and the foot bedded, and two hands lift it by the base. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA massif dense with gold leaf belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; broad planes drawn to carry that much flake put it in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and gold set against deep colour behind it suits 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with Gold Leaf Flecks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54065957732699,"sku":"S006","price":2227.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S006.jpg?v=1790847913","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-dense-gold-fleck-mountain-resin-sculpture-65cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
