{"product_id":"clear-rippled-bud-resin-sculpture-171cm","title":"Clear Rippled Bud Resin Sculpture - 171cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA smooth clear crown rising out of a mass worked into close horizontal ripples, with no line anywhere to say where one becomes the other. Colourless right through, so the mass reads dark where it is thick and clear where it is worked thin. A square black base is included underneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Water Stops and the Bud Begins\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo surfaces on one body is the whole argument, and the join is the hard part: the ripples are worked shallower as they climb until they simply stop, so that nothing on the piece reads as a seam between the two. A casting this deep is why the two halves read differently: the smooth crown passes the light straight through and the worked foot stops it at every ripple. Smooth over the crown and worked into close horizontal ripples through the foot, with no join between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFloor work for an atrium or a wide landing, with room to walk around it. Anything behind it should be plain and pale, because the mass reads dark and needs a ground to be dark against. Lit from behind, the crown clears and the ripples go opaque, and that pairing is what the drawing is built on. It reads as a single dark mass from across a room and separates into crown and ripples at about two paces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCarrying the Ripples Up, and a Levelled Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. Say the word and the ripples are carried further up the body, a tint is run through it, or the base beneath is cut wider. Carry the ripples further up and the crown shrinks with them, which turns a bud rising out of water into a piece of water on its own. The base goes down and is checked for level before the casting comes off the pallet. Four people and a trolley; there is no version of this one that is a hand lift. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bud-like crown above a rippled foot leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the rippled casting sits among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and an atrium is its natural setting among 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\u003e156cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 x 85 x 15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Polished and Worked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54145949565275,"sku":"Z493","price":14783.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z493.jpg?v=1790877169","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-rippled-bud-resin-sculpture-171cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
