{"product_id":"clear-faceted-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-130cm","title":"Clear Faceted Stag Cast Resin Sculpture - 130cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA faceted stag in clear resin, this sculpture stands on all four legs with the head up and the rack carried clear above it. Its body is not modelled: the flanks, the haunches, the neck and the legs are all cut into large flat facets meeting at hard edges, so what you see is dozens of small bright planes rather than a continuous surface. The antlers alone are left smooth. Everything is clear resin, polished on every face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Body Read as Reflections Rather Than Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA faceted clear animal is read almost entirely as reflection. Each plane returns its own piece of the room, so the form is assembled by the eye out of forty or fifty separate images and the arrises between them are the only lines the piece owns. That puts the whole standard on the edges: an arris that is a fraction soft returns a smear instead of a line and the facet next to it stops reading as flat. Every one is therefore dressed sharp and polished right up to the meeting point, which is slow because a polish naturally rounds an edge and has to be worked against. The antlers are left smooth deliberately - a faceted rack would compete with the body and the animal would lose its head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one needs something worth reflecting. In front of planting, a bookcase or a window the facets fill with colour and the animal comes alive; against a flat pale wall they all return the same white and the piece goes quiet. At a hundred and thirty this is a floor piece: a hall, a stair well, the open part of a large room, with clearance overhead for the rack. Moving light suits it best, so a window is better than a fixed spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFacet Size, Colour and Bringing It Through\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. Facet size is decided at order, from these broad planes to a finer cut closer to a modelled animal, and the antlers can be faceted to match if that is wanted. The body will take an amber, a smoke or a soft green, and a frosted finish turns the facets from mirrors into panels, which is a different object. Rack size is open, and a hind without antlers can be cut from this body. Heights above and below this are cut to order. Body and rack travel apart in one crate and seat by hand; two people should stand the animal up. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag built from flat polished planes belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; smooth antlers over an angular body lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear planes that mirror the room join 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\u003e130cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear 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":54019285320027,"sku":"R222","price":14783.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R222.jpg?v=1791312216","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-faceted-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-130cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
