The dividing starts low, not far above the foot, so what leaves the base as a handful of stems arrives at the top as a spray of separate ends, some forked and some drawn out to a single point. There is no tint anywhere in it, so the whole of the drawing is done by the thickness of the material and by which edge happens to be catching the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Stem That Splits, and Splits Again\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn arm that divides twice is three arms by the time it ends, and every one of those ends has to stand up on its own. Nothing runs through this piece to hold it: the material is the structure, and by the last division there is very little of it left. That sets the limit on how far the branching can be taken, and the limit is found by making rather than by working it out: one division too many and the end gives way before it has set, taking the rest of that arm with it. So the work runs from the foot upward, one division settled at a time, and the piece spends most of its making held at points that are cut away at the end. No two castings divide in quite the same places, and none of them can be corrected once the material has gone off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgainst a busy ground the fine points vanish, so it wants an empty field behind it. A plain wall, a blank panel or simply open air will all do; anything patterned and the ends are lost in it, and what is left reads as a stump. Placed on a console, its 74cm lifts the thicket of points to the eye line of anyone standing in the room. It repays being turned until the divisions are edge on to the way the room is entered, because that is the view in which the branching can actually be followed. One lamp placed off to the side is worth more here than anything overhead, which flattens the whole thicket into a single grey mass and hides the one thing worth seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNothing Inside It but the Material, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. Many of the arms fork again before they end and the thinnest of them are barely thicker than a pencil, so each one has to carry itself. The number of divisions is drawn to order, the body can take a tint, and the arms can be drawn heavier. Height is set at order, and the piece can be supplied bedded onto a stone block instead of standing on its own foot. It ships in a single crate with the arms faced in groups and packing worked in between each group, and there is nothing to fit on arrival: it is taken out by the solid foot and stood up. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless splash that forks and forks again into a crown of fine points belongs 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\u003e74cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54029412761947,"sku":"L026","price":2440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L026.jpg?v=1791883135","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-dividing-splash-cast-resin-sculpture-74cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
