The grey is held in the body itself, gathering where the figure is broad and paling at the thin edges of the dress, so that light shows through it there. A white marble block is supplied, and the whole figure bears on it through the ball of one foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmoke Grey Held Inside the Figure\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eColour carried through a translucent body behaves differently from colour laid on a surface. Where the figure is thick, through the torso and the standing leg, the grey gathers almost to charcoal; where the dress thins out to its streaming edges it pales until the light comes through, so the wind seems to be blowing the colour out of it. Every fold therefore reads twice, once as an outline and once as a change of tone. Any flaw in a body this clear would show through the grey, so the casting is made slowly and polished afterwards, keeping the surface glassy over the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, an entrance or a garden room, against a pale wall that lets the smoke grey read. A window behind or beside it sets the thin edges of the dress alight while the body stays dark, which is where the piece is most alive. It reads as a dark vertical from across a room and resolves into a figure in the wind as you approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChanging the Tone, and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. The dress is drawn further out, the grey is deepened or taken toward clear, and the block is cut in black stone. Draw the dress further out and the block is widened under it, because the figure leans past its own foot as it is. The block goes down first, then the figure is lowered onto it, and the casting is left in its wrapping until the room is done. Two people, gloved, should handle it, since a print shows on clear resin in any light. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore figures for an entrance or a hall are in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, windswept poses of this kind continue in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a figure cast in smoke grey 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\u003e145cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 40 x 20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmoke Grey Cast Resin on White Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101660959067,"sku":"Z014","price":5670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z014.jpg?v=1790875474","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/smoke-grey-windblown-lady-resin-sculpture-165cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
