It is optically clear throughout, and over the flanks, the haunches and the upper legs runs a pattern of fern-like fronds, frosted where the rest of the body is polished. From a distance the pattern reads as a shadow inside the animal; close to, it is plainly a worked surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Pattern Cut Over a Compound Curve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pattern on a curved clear body has to hold one depth or it stops being a pattern. Each frond is cut to the same shallow bite, and on a flank that is turning away from the tool that means the angle of attack changes along every single stroke; too deep at the crown of the curve and the frond reads as a chip, too shallow at the edge and it fades out halfway. So the fronds are laid out on the finished polished body, cut one at a time, and checked by turning the animal against a dark ground where a frosted line shows at its clearest. The length of clear casting is the other constraint. At this scale the legs carry a great deal of material and any cloudiness in them is unhideable, so they are checked against the light before the pattern is begun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 200cm the animal sets the room rather than sitting in it, so give it an entrance hall, an atrium or the open middle of a large space, with clearance above for the rack and on both sides for it. Check the doorways on the way in. It is at its best in front of planting or a window, where the clear body fills with what is behind it and the frosted fronds stay pale against it. Against a flat dark wall the whole animal reads as an outline and the pattern carries the piece on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRack Size, Pattern Depth and Bringing It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The rack is made heavier or lighter to order, and the same animal is offered as a hind carrying none at all. What is patterned is open: these fronds, a scale field, a bamboo, or a plain polished animal with nothing cut on it. Pattern depth runs from this shallow frost to a deep relief. A tint through the resin is available in amber, smoke or a soft green. Any height is cut to order, above this one as well as below. It travels standing in a fitted crate with the rack cased apart and seats by hand; three people are wanted to stand it up. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag patterned with frosted fronds belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a heavy rack of antlers leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a fern drawn over 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\u003e200cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90.6cm\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":54019267035483,"sku":"R180","price":17281.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R180.jpg?v=1791309939","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-fern-bodied-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-200cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
