{"product_id":"clear-gold-fleck-crescent-boat-resin-sculpture-45cm","title":"Clear Gold Fleck Crescent Boat Resin Sculpture - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crescent of clear resin tapering to a point at both ends, one point standing higher than the other, resting on the low point of its own curve with both points lifting free. The inner wall is stepped in concentric waves that follow the sweep from one point to the other, and the outer wall is left plain. Gold-toned flakes are scattered through the clear resin, gathered most thickly toward the rim and the two points. Nothing is supplied beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eParallel Steps Are a Test of a Curve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this span the crescent has nowhere to hide a flat. It stands on the bottom of its sweep with both tips in the air, so the whole curve is on show and any slackness in it shows along the underside. The concentric steps cut into the inner wall are what make it legible: each one catches its own line of light, and a run of parallel lines is the most exacting test of a curve there is. They follow the sweep through the belly of the crescent and gather together as they run out into each point, so the eye is drawn along them to the tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA desk or a shelf suits it, ideally with a window behind, since a clear casting scattered with gold-toned flakes wants something bright behind it rather than in front. A dark surface underneath gives the clear curve an edge it loses on a pale one. Only the bottom of the curve touches the surface, and the two tips ride clear of it. The two points sit at different heights, so the crescent reads as tipped rather than symmetrical, and that is what stops it looking like a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Steps, the Flakes and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. The gold-toned flakes are scattered more sparsely or taken out altogether, and the inner steps are cut deeper. It is repeated at other lengths, with the step count following the run rather than staying where it is. A version with the steps run right through to the outer face is made and reads as a much heavier object, since every face of the crescent then carries the waves. The flakes can also be gathered in a single band along the keel where a quieter piece is wanted. It travels in one box bedded under the sweep, and it comes out held from beneath the curve, never by either point. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo points with a sweep between them is the shape \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e is named for, the flecks belong to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and anything read from a hand's distance is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e shelf work.\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\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin with Gold-Toned Flakes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54077222191451,"sku":"H045","price":2035.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H045.jpg?v=1792070582","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gold-fleck-crescent-boat-resin-sculpture-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
