It is very nearly as deep as it is wide, and the mass rises to one rounded summit that sits a little back from the front. It stands directly on the surface with nothing supplied beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrosting Is What Makes the Depth Visible\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear casting this deep has a problem that a thin one does not: there is so much resin between its two faces that light goes straight out the other side and the interior is lost. Polished, a block this size reads as a flat pane with a bright edge, and all the modelling inside it disappears. The frosting is what puts the volume back. Each facet scatters at its own angle, so the face reads as a soft depth rather than as a pane, and wherever the eye lands on it there is something to settle on. It is the reason a piece this heavy still looks like something rather than like a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is nearly square in plan and is read from all round, so pushing it back against anything costs half of it. The middle of a low table, the end of an island or a plinth in a hall all suit it, with room allowed in both directions. It carries light rather than reflecting it, which means a lamp standing beside it at the same level is worth more than anything mounted above. Standing it where daylight crosses it during the day is the simplest way to see the whole of it change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Surface, the Body, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. The facet size is drawn coarser or finer, the body is tinted through, and a polished finish is offered in place of the frosting. Polishing is the one change that alters what the piece is rather than how it looks, for the reason above, and is worth seeing before it is settled. The block is also cast at other proportions, including a shallower version for a narrow surface. It is a solid casting and it is heavy for its size: it travels in one crate bedded on all six faces, and two people lift it together with a hand under each side. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted block rather than a skyline belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; broken facets over deep resin bring it into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a block met from every side suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e44cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\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\u003eFrosted 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":54067987972443,"sku":"S102","price":2564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S102.jpg?v=1790850715","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-frosted-ice-block-mountain-resin-sculpture-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
