The bird is pared to one continuous teardrop: the beak lifts from the front of the mass, the body swells behind it and the tail runs back and down until it meets the surface the piece rests on, which is what holds it up. The resin is a deep translucent red, dark where the body is thickest and bright where the tail thins out, so the colour draws the form without a single modelled feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Whole Bird Pared to One Continuous Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA form this simple has nowhere to hide. There is no detail to distract from an outline that wanders, so the profile is worked to a drawing rather than sculpted freehand, and the surface is polished to a single grade over its whole length: a dull patch on a smooth bird reads as damage. The tail is the structural part as well as the visual one, because it is the only thing touching the surface behind the point of balance, and its underside is flatted so the bird sits still rather than rocking. Colour is carried in the resin, not on it, which is why the thin tail is a lighter red than the breast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall and self-contained, this is a piece for a surface people pass close to rather than one they view from across a room: a windowsill where the light comes through it, a bedside, a mantel, a desk. Backlighting is what it is for - the red goes from dark to luminous the moment there is a window behind it. Two or three at slightly different angles read as a flock; one on its own reads as an object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour Depth, Scale and Ordering Several\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. Colour depth is set at order, from this deep red to a pale coral, and the bird is offered in an amber, a smoke, a green or colourless. Scale is open, and the form can be made large enough to sit on a floor. The beak angle can be lifted or dropped, which changes the bird from alert to settled. Where several are ordered they are tinted in one run so the reds match. Each travels boxed and sleeved and is a one-person carry, and nothing needs assembling or fixing. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bird pared to a single teardrop shape belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bird-sculptures\"\u003ebird sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a form with no wings or feet leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and red that glows when backlit joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e17cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranslucent Red 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":54017123385691,"sku":"R013","price":1417.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R013.jpg?v=1791304045","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-single-form-bird-cast-resin-sculpture-30cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
