Its broken faces give it the look of a lump of glacier ice pulled from a river, and nothing is added to the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Mass With No Profile to Read\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery range is read as an outline first. This is not: a body nearly as deep as it is wide means the eye never gets a profile, only a face, and a face has to be interesting at arm's length rather than across a room. So everything goes into the surface. It is worked over its entire area in fractures and planes of a size that still read at arm's length, and because there is no skyline to carry the object, an area left flat anywhere shows immediately as an unfinished patch rather than as a rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is read close and it is heavy, so a low solid surface is the answer: a hearth, a broad plinth, the floor beside a chair. On a console at chest height the top face - which is most of what is worked - is out of sight. It needs real depth, which rules out most shelving, and the light is best from one side and low, so the fractures throw shadows across each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSurface Over Outline, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. It is nearly as deep as it is wide, so it has no outline and the surface does all of the work. The face is polished instead of frosted, a tint is run through the material, and gold leaf is flecked into it. Polishing it turns a matt mass into a transparent one and changes the piece entirely, which is the comparison to make first. It travels in one heavy crate bedded on every face, and three people move it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted boulder with no skyline belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; fractures cut over every face join it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a heavy piece read close beside a chair 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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\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":54067458146651,"sku":"S178","price":5670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S178.jpg?v=1790850787","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-frosted-ice-boulder-cast-resin-sculpture-75cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
