Her face, ears and legs are modelled smooth, and everything the fleece covers is worked in long rippling grooves that run back along the body and hang in loose waves at the belly, so the wool reads like water caught mid-flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Fleece Worked in Long Rippling Grooves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ewe is naturalistic in her proportions and not at all in her surface, and the contrast is what makes the piece work. The head and legs are modelled true and kept smooth, so the animal is recognisable at a distance. Everything the fleece covers is then cut into long grooves that ripple in overlapping runs, following the way wool grows: down the flanks, back from the shoulder and round over the rump. Because the material is colourless, each ripple returns a different amount of the room, so the fleece reads as a moving field of light rather than as a texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a floor piece at close to life size, and no surface suits it. At 80cm she stands about the height of a large dog, so she belongs in a hall, a garden room, a wide landing or on a showroom floor where people can walk round her. Being colourless she takes almost no visual weight, which is why she can stand in a room that is already full without adding to it. Give her a plain floor and something plain behind: against a busy wall the ripples stop reading and her outline goes with them. Light from one side is what lifts the fleece. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinish, Fleece and Getting Her Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. She is sold singly, and a ram or a lamb can be made to order to stand with her. Colourless is standard, and a smoke grey, an amber or a milky white can be run through the resin instead, the white coming closest to real fleece at the cost of the light the clear casting catches. The ripples can be cut deeper for a bolder animal or finer for something closer to a coat. She travels standing in one crate with her legs braced, and moving her into place takes two people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear ewe standing square belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a fleece cut in long ripples leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and colourless resin that holds the room joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956656857435,"sku":"R211","price":7358.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R211.jpg?v=1791312178","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-rippled-fleece-ewe-resin-sculpture-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
