It is packed with upright slats of acrylic, some green right through and some clear with green edges, that show through the windows and rise in blocks above the rail, like a cargo of glass. It is raised on two short posts over a black marble base, and the piece lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Rusted Hull Loaded With Green Slats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rust finish gives the hull the look of an old working boat, and the cargo of green slats gives it the opposite, something clean, bright and new. The slats are stood in blocks and left to rise unevenly above the rail, so the load looks heaped rather than packed, and through the windows in the sides they read as panes of green light. The hull is kept plain and dark so the colour belongs entirely to the cargo, and the posts lift it clear of the marble, which makes it seem to float.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is long, so it wants a long surface: a sideboard, a console, a long cabinet or a table, with the windows lined up to the viewer. Keep it at about eye level or a little under, so the slats are seen through the sides as well as from above. Light from behind or from a window makes the green glow through the hull. It suits a room with dark wood, stone or metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHull Finish, Cargo Colour and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. Other patinas are possible, bronze-toned, black or an antiqued gold tone, and the slats come in teal, amber, blue or clear as well as green. A clear cargo reads as ice in an old boat and lets the rust do the talking. It is packed in one long crate with the slats secured, and the boat is lifted by its hull from beneath, never by the rail, the rods or the slats. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rust-brown hull cut open in windows and loaded with green-edged slats ties together our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e46cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRust-Finished Metal with Green and Clear Acrylic on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209058079067,"sku":"H341","price":10663.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H341.jpg?v=1791983171","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/rust-brown-and-green-open-hull-boat-metal-and-acrylic-sculpture-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
