The head divides into two rounded lobes with a deep notch between them, and the foot spreads into a broken ledge. It stands on its own marble, and the whole piece is narrow and slim, made to be seen face on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Notch Is the Weak Point, So It Is Drawn Thick\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA head that divides in two puts the whole load of both lobes through one narrow section at the bottom of the notch, and that is where a cast object fails. The answer is not to make the notch shallower, which would lose the form, but to draw it with a curve at its root rather than a corner: a radius spreads the stress over a length of material instead of concentrating it at a point. The two lobes are then modelled to lean very slightly toward one another, so each is carrying a little of the other rather than hanging out on its own. None of this is visible, and all of it is the difference between a casting that survives a knock and one that does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm with its marble it is a piece for a shelf, a desk or a narrow ledge rather than a table anyone walks around. The notch reads best from straight on, so give it a position it is met square from and do not set it at an angle in a corner. Light from behind is what the grade wants: the green foot goes almost black against a bright ground while the frosted head stays pale, and the object then reads as two materials rather than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Tint, the Head, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. The grade is set at order and the green is taken to a teal, a grey-green or a honey, all three of which are made as standing castings rather than as specials. The notch is cut deeper or nearly closed, and the marble is offered at another size. A polished version is also made and is a harder, brighter object, since the frosting is what keeps the two lobes reading as one stone. It is sent in a single box, the head sleeved and the marble laid flat under it, and one person can carry it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rock whose head divides in two belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; frost graded to clear green places it in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a small forked stone met face on suits 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\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 15 x 5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Cast Resin Graded to Green on Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54067988037979,"sku":"S187","price":1619.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S187.jpg?v=1790851725","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-frosted-forked-rock-on-marble-resin-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
