{"product_id":"clear-standing-hind-with-suspended-leaves-190cm","title":"Clear Standing Hind with Suspended Leaves - 190cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cast resin sculpture is a hind standing square with the neck held vertical and the muzzle tipped up and away. There are no antlers. Dried leaves and fine twigs are suspended through the body at every depth, gathered across the barrel, the shoulder and the haunch and running down into the legs and up the neck, so the clear animal reads as if an autumn had been caught inside it. The legs are slender and the whole figure is polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeaves Suspended Through a Clear Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaves inside a body this large behave like a scene rather than a decoration: there is enough depth of material for them to sit at a dozen distances from the surface, so the barrel holds near leaves that read sharply and far ones that soften, and the eye reads the animal as full of something instead of merely tinted. Each leaf and twig is placed as the body is built up, and the spray is kept open where the section narrows so the legs still read as clear. The neck is the structural passage: vertical, unsupported, and carrying the head at the top, so it is cut fuller than a hind's own and the extra is taken from the throat line where nothing shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a hundred and ninety the muzzle is above the head of most people, so the room has to have height in it: a hall, a stair well, an atrium, anything double-height. Leave the ceiling clear above the muzzle and give it a plain wall, because the leaves are read against what is behind. Daylight from the side or a lamp low down fills the body; a light from overhead finds the back and the underside stays grey. It needs level floor and space to be walked round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Leaf, the Pose and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is standard or bespoke sets the build: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The leaves can be thinned, gathered into the barrel alone or left out for a plain clear body, and the resin itself can be coloured to amber, smoke or green. The head can be set at order anywhere from this raised muzzle to a level or grazing pose, and a full rack can be added to make a stag. It can be scaled up or down to order. It travels upright in a single crate, the legs braced, with nothing to assemble on arrival; take the weight under the barrel, never by a leg or the neck. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hind full of suspended leaves belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a neck held vertical to the muzzle leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a clear figure as tall as a door joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e190cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e79.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin with Suspended Leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020858544475,"sku":"R273","price":16336.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R273.jpg?v=1791314976","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-standing-hind-with-suspended-leaves-190cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
