Colourless through the whole mass, with a single gold bird on one shoulder as the only worked colour anywhere on it. A base of dark stone is supplied beneath the rock and carries it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Place for the Eye to Settle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gold bird on a clear rock is the only opaque thing in the piece, and it is there so that a colourless mass has one place the eye can settle. A rough colourless mass gives the eye nowhere to rest: every facet returns a little light and none of them is more important than the next. The bird is the answer to that, and it is the only opaque thing on the piece for exactly that reason. An ice-textured body in clear resin means the surface breaks the light into hundreds of small returns, and the polished bird is legible precisely because nothing around it is. The mass is worked rough over its whole face and the bird is polished, so the two extremes of the range sit side by side on one object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall console or the top of a low cabinet, where the bird sits at about the height of a standing eye. Give it a pale ground, so the rough surface reads as texture and the gold reads as gold. Light from the side is what this wants. Light from in front turns the whole rough face into one flat glare. At a distance it is one pale mass with a single bright point on it, and the point is what brings you over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTaking the Bird Off, and One Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. The bird can be left off, it can be finished in another metal colour, and the rock is made at other heights. Take the bird away and what is left is a study of surface, so the rock is redrawn to carry the whole interest on its own. Stone and casting share a crate, the base lifted out first and the rock set down onto it. Two people, and the bird is not a handle. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear rock with a gilded bird on its shoulder leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the ice-textured mass belongs among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more with a single bright accent is in 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\u003e102cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 30 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin with a Fibreglass Bird on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54113483915611,"sku":"Z403","price":4522.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z403.jpg?v=1790773201","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-rock-and-gold-bird-resin-sculpture-108cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
