From a long, tapering tail it swells into a low hump and dips, then rises at the far end in a tall curve and turns back over its own length, so that the tail passes under the crest, which is what gives it the feather reading rather than the wave one. Fine ribs run along the whole form like the barbs of a feather. The mint is pale enough to be almost white in the thin parts and only shows as a colour where the material gathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Surface That Makes Its Own Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted surface is not a finish laid over a form, it is the form seen differently, and it has to be the same everywhere or it is worse than a polish. On a polished piece the eye reads reflections, which move as the viewer moves, so a slight variation in the surface is lost in them. Frosted material has no reflections to hide behind: it holds a soft even light of its own, and any patch that is smoother or rougher than the rest reads as a mark on the object. This piece curls back on itself, so it has undercuts and a tail that runs underneath the crest, and those are the faces where an uneven surface usually shows. On a piece with no base the underside is in view whenever it is looked at from below, so the frosting has to carry right round into those faces, over every one of the fine ribs that run along the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrosted material makes its own light, so it holds up where a polished piece would go dull, in a north room or a hallway. That is the argument for it: a clear or polished wave in flat light has nothing to catch and reads as a grey shape, whereas this one is at its best in exactly those conditions. It needs no base and sits directly on a surface, and it is deep enough to want most of the depth of a console or a broad shelf. It should be seen from the side the curl turns towards, since the feather reading depends on the tail passing under the crest, which is invisible from behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Frosted Curl, Its Options and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. Every face is frosted, and one dull patch anywhere on it would show from across a room. It can also be polished rather than frosted, which makes a different object altogether. The span is drawn to order, and the mint runs to a pale blue, a smoke grey or a clear. It travels in one foam-lined case laid on the flat of the curl, and it needs no assembly: it is lifted out by the body under the turn and set down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted mint ribbon curled back over itself like a feather takes this wave into 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54026322313563,"sku":"L083","price":3126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L083.jpg?v=1791884333","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/frosted-mint-feather-wave-cast-resin-sculpture-93cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
