{"product_id":"green-coral-bowl-cast-resin-sculpture-40cm","title":"Green Coral Bowl Cast Resin Sculpture - 40cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cast resin sculpture in the shape of an open bowl, wider than it is tall and tipped slightly so one side rises higher than the other, whose entire wall is made of short rods standing out from the surface. There are hundreds of them, longest and most crowded up one side, where the wall rises into a bristling crest, and thinning along the other to a narrow band that sweeps up into a tapering horn; each has a squared end rather than a point. The colour runs green through the body of the wall and paler turquoise at the tips, so the outer surface reads cooler than the mass behind it. Light passes between the rods, which means the piece has an inside that is visible from outside and no solid surface anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCast Whole, Not Assembled\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost everybody who looks at this assumes it was built rod by rod, and it was not: it comes out of a mould taken off a printed master, whole, which is a much harder way to arrive at the same object and the reason it holds together. Every rod is continuous with the wall rather than glued to it, which is why the piece can be picked up at all. The printed master is where the drawing lies: the angle, the length and the squared end of every rod are set in it, and the casting carries each of them over into the resin, so the crest of long rods and the narrow band that rises to the horn come out exactly as drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belongs where it can be looked into as well as at: a dining table, a low coffee table, an island or a broad console, at a height where the interior is visible over the rim. It is not a shelf piece, because the whole point is the open structure and a shelf above it puts that in shadow. It should not be used as a vessel. Light from above is unusually good here, because it comes down between the rods and lights the inside, and a dark surface underneath makes the turquoise tips read against their own shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour, Density and Careful Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. Colour is chosen at order: this green-to-turquoise grading, a single cool tint, an amber, or a clear body where the structure alone does the work. The density and length of the rods are drawn per piece, so a more open version with fewer and longer rods, or a denser one that reads almost as a solid wall, are both available from the same form. Lift it from underneath with both hands, never by the rim, where a closing hand would press across the rods. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnything worked this close to something growing sits in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and because the rods are cast rather than built it joins \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e and stays under cover with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e33.8cm\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\u003e36.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast 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":54022611566939,"sku":"C233","price":3113.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C233.jpg?v=1792069754","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-coral-bowl-cast-resin-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
