From a broad trough the body sweeps up one side and arches over the top into a long crest, which reaches across the opening with two forked, bead-tipped prongs and a small upright fin behind them, while the far end of the trough rises in a spray of pointed tips. The body is thickest at the bottom of the curve and thins as it comes round, so the crest is the lightest part of the piece. Everything is polished, inside the curve as well as out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Crescent Left Open Between Crest and Spray\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow far round a curl is brought decides what it is. Stopped early it is a wave; closed completely it is a ring. This one is taken round into a crescent and then left well open, so the crest reaching over the top and the spray rising at the far end never meet, and the space between them counts for as much as the water. That only works if both ends are drawn as ends: the crest thins and forks into two prongs, the spray breaks into points, and neither reads as a part that has gone missing. The inside of the curve faces the opening, which makes it the face that matters, so it is finished as fully as the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening is what the eye goes to, so it needs something behind it worth seeing. A blank wall close behind fills it with the same tone as the surroundings and the point of the shape disappears; depth behind it, a room carrying on, a window or a lit recess, turns the opening into the subject. At 77cm with the marble block it belongs on a sideboard or a long console, where the crest rides close to eye level. It is a colourless piece and takes its tone from what it is seen against, so a dark ground gives the body an outline. Light from the side rakes round the curve and shows the taper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Size of the Gap, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The curl is taken round into a crescent and left open between the crest and the spray, and how wide that opening is left is the whole composition. The opening is drawn wider or brought in closer to order, an amber is carried through the body where colourless is not wanted, and the black marble can be swapped for a pale stone. The scale is set at order, and a version closed into a complete ring is made where no opening is wanted. It arrives boxed alone, the crest faced and the marble packed beneath it, and it is assembled on site by levelling the marble first and lowering the curl onto it by its foot. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn open crescent of clear water whose forked crest reaches across towards the spray at its far end belongs among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e71cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 30 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54029414302043,"sku":"L194","price":2781.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L194.jpg?v=1791903201","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-open-crescent-wave-cast-resin-sculpture-77cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
