The surface swells and dimples rather than running true, and the form is open right along the ground so the inside is seen from below. It needs no base and none is included, since the rim of the dome is its whole footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Even Wall Is What Keeps a Dome a Dome\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dimples and swells on this dome are not a texture applied to it. They are what a hollow curve of this size does on its own, and the whole craft of the object is deciding how much of it to allow rather than how to put it there. Hold the wall perfectly even and you get a machine-smooth dome with nothing to look at. Let it run and the form collapses out of true. The wall is held at the thickness that leaves the swelling readable and the dome still a dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 70cm and open underneath, it wants a broad surface it can be looked along rather than down into: a hearth, a deep sill or a plinth at knee height. Light from one side runs across the swells and makes the surface read; light from directly above puts a bright cap on it and loses everything below that. Because the inside is visible along the ground, what it stands on is seen through it, so a plain pale surface is worth more here than a figured one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Wall, the Surface, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The wall is cast heavier for a quieter surface or lighter for a more restless one, the dome is drawn deeper or flatter, and a tint is run through the body. A frosted finish is offered and makes the swelling far more legible, since a clear dome shows it only where the light catches. It is also cast at other diameters. It is a large hollow casting and it travels in one crate seated on a cut ring with the crown free of the packing, and two people lift it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dome with nothing inside it is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the clear shell is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a mass this size needs \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e floor.\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\u003e69.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Hollow Cast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069533213019,"sku":"X110","price":4522.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X110.jpg?v=1790953135","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-hollow-cast-dome-resin-sculpture-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
