The sphere rests in the trough with the wave's inner face against it on one side, its upper part wrapped in wavy horizontal ridges and the bottom third left smooth. The trough is the water beneath it all, sweeping up to a point at its far end. Three colours meet on a small object and none of them is anywhere near the others in temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClear Water Arching Over a Ridged Gold Ball\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is built from three contrasts. The wave is colourless and glassy, so it catches light along every edge and keeps the room in view behind it; the sphere is opaque and warm, its ridges catching the light in short, broken lines like water folding round it, while the smooth bottom takes a single soft shine; and the trough is a saturated blue, deepest along its bottom edge. The wave climbs behind the sphere, rests against it on one side and arches over its top, while the arm runs out well clear of it on the other, so the gold is framed by the water rather than buried in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold is what carries it across a room and it sits low in the piece, so a surface at or below eye level shows it best. Seen from the front, the gold sits framed inside the arch of the wave, and that is the view to place it for. A low table, a hall chest or a deep window sill all put the ball where it can be seen. At 40cm it suits any of them and asks for little more room than its own footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOther Finishes on the Sphere, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The sphere rests in the trough under the arch of the wave, and the open space between the gold and the clear water is part of the design. The sphere is made in other metal finishes, the wave is drawn further over it, and the blue foot is taken to a green. The size of the sphere is set against the span of the wave, so a heavier ball under a wider curl is made where a bolder piece is wanted. It travels in one box with the sphere in place and the wave faced around it, and nothing is assembled on arrival. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear wave arching over a ridged gold ball in its blue trough is shelved with 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with a Gilt Sphere\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54054190547291,"sku":"L290","price":1903.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L290.jpg?v=1791906566","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-wave-and-gilt-sphere-cast-resin-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
