{"product_id":"clear-leaning-splash-spire-cast-resin-sculpture-64cm","title":"Clear Leaning Splash Spire Cast Resin Sculpture - 64cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cast resin sculpture carries no tint at all: a clear splash rising to a single leaning spire on a small black block. Its foot is a deep, curved cup of spray; from one side of it a short spray of fingers rises, and from the other one column climbs and leans well over, dividing into a broad, pierced sheet of water and a slender limb that breaks at the top into three fine points of unequal height. Every surface is polished. With nothing in the material, there is nothing to look at but the shape itself and what light does to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNothing Added to It At All\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing is added to it, so everything rests on the clarity of the material and the polish. That is a harder brief than it sounds. A tint hides a great deal: a faint cloud, a fine bubble or an unevenness anywhere in the body. None of those could hide in a piece that is meant to be water rather than glass. Here every surface carries the same unbroken polish, the inside of the cup at the foot included, and the column, the pierced sheet and the three points at the top are as clear as the spray below them. Any single flaw anywhere in the body would be visible from every angle, so the clarity is the whole of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 64cm on its block, set on a cabinet or a sideboard, it reaches about eye level, and it needs a dark ground behind it. Against a pale wall a clear piece has no outline at all. The eye finds a few highlights and nothing else, whereas against a dark panel, a black-backed shelf or a window at night the whole form comes forward. A wall of dark book spines or a deep study shelf gives it that too. Light from one side and slightly behind is what fills the column; a light in front of it produces glare on the polish and very little else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClarity Is the Whole Schedule\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. There is nothing in the material to hide a cloud or a bubble, so the clarity is the only thing there is to get right. The foot of the splash can take a tint, and the spire is drawn to any height or broken into several points. The span of the cup at the foot is set at order, and the block comes in this black or in white. Each point is faced before it is cased in foam, and on site the block goes down first and the splash is lowered onto it, held by the cup at the foot. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing added and nothing tinted: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e in the form, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e in the material, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e because a clear piece needs a ground to be seen against.\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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 20 x 4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Black Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54026330898779,"sku":"L318","price":1903.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L318.jpg?v=1791906807","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-leaning-splash-spire-cast-resin-sculpture-64cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
