The outer surface is left rough and broken like split ice, and goldfish in orange, red and black are held on the inner face so they are seen through the thickness of the material. The block is cut flat beneath, so it wants nothing under it at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Fish Are on the Inside Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting the fish on the inside is what makes this a pond rather than a decorated block. The thickness of frosted material between the eye and the fish does exactly what water does: it softens the edges, greys the colour a little, and makes the ones further round the curve dimmer than the ones facing you, so the group reads as being at different depths when it is in fact all on one surface. Put the same fish on the outside and they are painted decoration on a lump of resin, sharp and flat and obviously stuck on. The rough outer face is the second half of it, standing in for a broken surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 60cm it is heavy, so it belongs on a floor, a plinth or a very solid low table rather than a shelf. It is looked into rather than at, which means it wants to be below eye level and approached from more than one side, since different fish come forward as you move. Light from above and slightly behind runs into the frosted wall and lifts the whole interior; light from directly in front bounces off the rough face and leaves the fish dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Wall, the Fish, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The number of fish is set at order and their colours chosen, the wall is cast heavier for a deeper reading, and the outer face is worked coarser or brought smooth. A version with the fish left out is made and is a plain ice block, which some rooms want. It is also cast at other sizes. One braced crate takes it, the rough face boarded on every side, and it is lifted from below by two. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pond set inside a stone is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the frosted block is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and fish read close up, which makes it \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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Clear Cast Resin, Hollow Cast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069533311323,"sku":"X200","price":5670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X200.jpg?v=1790957192","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-frosted-ice-block-and-goldfish-resin-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
