The faces are cut into deep flutes that radiate from the summit to the foot, and a lower shoulder stands away to the right of the main mass. Its depth is slight, and it sits directly on the surface with nothing supplied to stand it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery Flute Is a Lens Over the Flake\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlake suspended in a clear body is only as good as the shape around it. Each flute here is a curved face, and the leaf seen through one is never the same twice: close and bright at one angle, displaced at the next, briefly gone at a third, so walking past the piece makes the gold move through it. That is the whole reason the faces are fluted this deeply rather than stepped. A shallow step would leave the flake sitting at one fixed depth and the object would read as a printed pattern under a clear skin. The cost is that the flutes have to be drawn before the leaf is in, on a guess about where it will settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is wide and needs the whole of its width, with nothing set against either end, because the flutes run out to the edges and a neighbouring object cuts them off. Light from behind is what it wants: a window across the room, a lamp set back on the same surface, anything that puts brightness into the body rather than onto it. A console at standing height reads best, since the flutes are drawn to be met square rather than looked down into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlake Density, Surface, and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is standard or bespoke sets the build: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The flute depth is drawn to order, the leaf is torn coarser or finer, and the whole body is tinted. A second casting of this same form is made with the flake run far denser, which comes out reading as copper rather than gold and is a different object in the room. Frosting the surface is also offered and stops the lens effect entirely. It travels in one padded case with the summit sleeved and the shoulder packed separately against it, and two people lift it by the foot rather than by the peaks. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fluted massif read through itself belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; gold seen through curved flutes puts it in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a clear mass with light set behind it 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\u003e45cm\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\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with Gold Leaf Flecks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54067987939675,"sku":"S009","price":2294.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S009.jpg?v=1790847965","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gold-fleck-fluted-mountain-resin-sculpture-75cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
