From a cup of upright fingers at its foot the spray sweeps up one side and over the top in a broad loop, and from the far end of that loop one arm lifts clear and folds back over at the top into a cluster of short points. Where the arm leaves the loop, at about the middle of the piece's height, the water closes round a small ring, the smallest thing on the piece, so the arm above and the fingers below are read against it. A spray of forked fingers fans out on the other side, everything is left untinted, and it stands on the block of white marble it comes with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMost of the Drawing Is in One Small Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale changes what a form demands. On a piece built to fill a room, a closed ring is a comfortable handful of material and can be worked from every side. Here the same element is a few centimetres across, and the whole of the drawing that matters happens inside it: the thickness of the loop, how round it is, how much daylight gets through it and where the arm above crosses it. There is no room to correct any of that, and no distance at which it can be checked, because the piece will be seen from arm's length rather than across a room. Small work is often assumed to be easier. On this form it is the opposite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall enough to be met at close range, it repays a surface people pass rather than one they look across. Set at about working height the ring is seen properly; met from above the eye it closes up and the piece becomes a shape. At 51cm on its block it fits a desk, a shelf or a side table, and it asks for little more surface than the block itself. Light from the side does more for it than light from above, so it is worth trying in two or three places before it is settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Ring, Another Stone, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. It is a small piece and the ring inside it is finer again, so most of the drawing happens inside that one small opening. A pale blue is carried through the body, the ring is drawn open, and the piece is made at twice this size. The marble comes in this white or a darker stone, and the arm can be folded further over where a closed silhouette is wanted. It is packed in one padded box with the arm faced and the stone under it; to unpack it, lift it by the cup at its foot and never by the arm. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne arm folded over a closed ring is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e in miniature; the casting is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and detail at this size wants the close quarters of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin on Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54054187565403,"sku":"L252","price":1695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L252.jpg?v=1791903940","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-folded-arm-splash-cast-resin-sculpture-51cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
