{"product_id":"clear-faceted-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-97cm","title":"Clear Faceted Stag Cast Resin Sculpture - 97cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSquare on all four legs with a full rack of antlers carried high, this cast resin sculpture is a faceted stag. What separates it from a modelled stag is the surface: the body is cut into large flat facets, so shoulder, flank and haunch each read as a set of planes meeting at a hard line rather than as one curved form. Light does not run across it; it breaks. The antlers keep their natural branching, which sets the sharp body against the one organic part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Body Cut Into Panels Rather Than Modelled\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaceting a clear casting is an exercise in edges. Every arris between two planes is a line the eye follows, so a facet a degree out of true reads as a dent, and the planes are cut and then flatted by hand against a reference rather than sanded by feel. The edges themselves are left sharp: rounding them would soften exactly the effect the piece exists for, and a rounded arris in clear resin turns into a bright worm of light. The facets are laid out from the anatomy outward, so the largest planes fall on the flank where there is room for them and the smallest gather at the face. The antler rack is cast separately and set in, as every branching antler must be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this height the stag is a floor animal, and the faceting rewards a position with a strong single light: one downlight or one window makes each plane a different tone, while flat ambient light flattens the whole surface into one grey mass. It suits an entrance, the end of a long room or a corner where two walls stand behind it. Measure the doorway before it comes: the antler spread is wider than the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFacet Size, Antler Rack and Getting It Through a Door\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. Facet size is set at order and it changes the animal completely - large planes read as a cut gem, small ones as a hammered surface. The antler rack can be taken to more or fewer points, or exchanged for a doe's bare head. A tint is offered through the body in a smoke, a bronze or a green, and the facets can be frosted while the rest stays polished. Size is cut to order. Body and antlers travel in one crate in separate trays and go together on site. The body is a two-person lift and the antlers are a one-person carry. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag whose body is cut in flat planes belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a rack left naturally branched leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and faceted clear resin joins 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\u003e97cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaceted Optically 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":54017122763099,"sku":"R003","price":5197.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R003.jpg?v=1791304001","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-faceted-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-97cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
