{"product_id":"teal-swallow-resin-sculpture-set-of-seven-20cm","title":"Teal Swallow Resin Sculpture Set of Seven - 20cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a set of seven swallows in translucent teal resin, each bird a single swept crescent of wings with a small pointed head, caught as if diving. They come in a spread of sizes, from small birds to bigger ones, and each is a separate sculpture, so the flight can be grouped however the room suits. The teal is richest through the body, where the resin is deepest, and clears towards the tip of each wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeven Swallows Cast in Translucent Teal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA swallow made as one sweep of resin leaves nowhere to hide, since the outline is the whole of the detail. Each bird is drawn as a single arc from wing tip to wing tip, with the head pushed forward at its point, and the arc is judged from several metres away before it is finished, because a kink that cannot be seen close to reads as a broken wing across a room. The teal is held deep where the body is thickest and left to thin out along each wing, which is what gives a flat shape its sense of depth. The set is graded in size so the seven read as birds seen at different distances, and every edge is polished to carry the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven swallows want space around them so that the flight is read as one group: a hallway, the landing at the head of a stair, or a reception where people arrive and look up. They can be gathered close as a tight flight or spread out as a loose one, and a rising line suggests birds climbing. Daylight from one side suits them best, since it shows the teal clear at the edges and deep at the centre of each bird, and a pale ground behind them keeps the colour at full strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Flight, the Colour and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. One price buys all seven swallows as a set. Their teal can be changed at order to a clear, an amber, a smoke or a deeper blue, and a set can be made with more birds or with fewer. The sizes step down through the set as standard, and they can be made closer to one another where a more even flight is wanted. Each swallow can be lifted with one hand, and the seven travel in one box, each wrapped in a compartment of its own so the set arrives complete. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven teal swallows in flight belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bird-sculptures\"\u003ebird sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a flight cast in translucent resin leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a set graded from near to far joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwallows\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeven, in graded sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach Swallow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH – x W 14–20cm x D –\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranslucent Teal 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":54260546404699,"sku":"R270","price":2024.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R270.jpg?v=1791314961","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-swallow-resin-sculpture-set-of-seven-20cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
