Its three round openings run down the middle. Everywhere else its surface ripples, and each ripple is polished. It is set on the black marble base it is sold with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGold Packed Into the Curl of the Head\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold leaf gathered in one place gives a clear rock a focus. Here it fills the curl of the head and runs down the left side, so from one angle the top of the piece is a mass of gold and from another it is clear, while the three openings below pass straight through untouched. The flakes are torn, flat and set at many depths; across a polished ripple they show as short bright marks. No two pieces hold the leaf alike, since torn leaf never falls the same way twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 57cm with its base it suits a desk or a sideboard under warm light, which is what wakes gold leaf; a cold downlight dulls it. Set against a dark wall the leaf is at its brightest. Turn the gilded curl toward the room rather than the wall, and give it a little space so the curl reads against what is behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeaf at the Head, or All Through\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. The leaf can stay gathered in the curl, as here, or be scattered evenly through the whole rock, in gold, silver or copper. The rippled body can be tinted. A paler stone is offered for the base, and the curl itself can be drawn tighter or looser to order. It is packed in a fitted foam bed with the base in its own box, and it is lifted round the body, not by the spiked lobes of the outline. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear curled rock packed with gold leaf joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; three openings left clear beneath a gilded head suit our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and torn leaf set at many depths through the ripples places it with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with Gold Leaf and Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54228215169371,"sku":"T013-4","price":2090.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T013__4.jpg?v=1790856399","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gold-leaf-triple-opening-rock-resin-sculpture-57cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
