{"product_id":"clear-mossed-stump-resin-sculpture-60cm","title":"Clear Mossed Stump Resin Sculpture - 60cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular block holds a wide stump section whose dark bark carries patches of green moss. The heartwood between the bark edges is strongly figured in olive and gold, one flank of the stump is scooped into a natural hollow, and the top shows a large pale end grain disc with its rings running out to the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMoss Held on the Bark of a Wide Stump\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe moss is the point of this piece. It sits in patches on the bark rather than covering it, green against near-black, concentrated where the bark is roughest and absent where it is smooth. Because the resin around it is colourless the moss reads at its own colour rather than through a tint. The stump itself is a broad section, and its natural hollow on one flank leaves a pocket of clear resin where the eye passes straight through the piece. The figuring in the heartwood is strong, with olive and gold running the height of the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 60cm, and low, it is a bench-side or hall piece rather than an upright one: it sits along a wall, at the foot of a bed, or under a window, and the long flat top takes a tray, a stack of books and a lamp together. It reads best where the moss can be seen at close range, so a position people pass rather than only look at from across a room. It suits stone, plaster and unfinished timber. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Moss: Dried, Held, and Not Living\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The obvious question about a piece with moss in it is whether the moss stays alive, and the answer is no: it is dried and held in the resin, so it needs no water, no light and no attention, and it will not grow, spread or die back. It keeps its colour indoors indefinitely and it is the one surface on the piece that cannot be damaged by handling, because it is not exposed. What can be specified is coverage, from a few patches as here to a bark face largely green, and the stump section itself, since a wider one gives more timber and a narrower one more clear resin at the ends. Block proportions are made to order on this rectangular plan. It travels flat in a fitted crate on its base and is lifted by two people at the two short ends, and it wants a level surface, since a long block bearing on an uneven floor will rock at one end. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoss on dark bark makes this low block a natural choice from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the clear surround brings it among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its long, flat proportion among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract 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\u003e39cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Resin with Solid Timber and Moss\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53958557204827,"sku":"J020","price":4320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J020.jpg?v=1791373712","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-mossed-stump-resin-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
