Two large ears stand out at the sides of the head. The body is translucent amber resin, dark where it is thickest at the shoulders and honey where the light comes through the chest, and the hands are the only opaque part: white, printed rather than cast, and marked on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo White Hands Held Over the Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo materials meeting at the face is the whole difficulty of this piece. The body is cast in a translucent amber that changes tone with its own thickness, and the hands are printed in an opaque white and then finished by hand, which means they have to be brought to a surface the cast resin does not make them look cheap beside. They also have to fit: the hands cover the face completely, so any gap at the cheek would be the first thing anybody saw, and each pair is made to the finished head rather than to a drawing of it. The ears are cast with the head and not added, because a seam at the ear root would run straight across the widest part of the silhouette. The pedestal is a separate block and is cut flat to the figure's own seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeated with its feet hanging, the figure behaves like a guest in the room, and at 75cm with its pedestal it wants a low surface or a floor position where it can be met at its own level: the end of a run of shelving, a hearth, a wide windowsill, the floor beside a chair. It faces one way and the composition only closes from the front, so meet it head on. Translucent amber comes alive with light behind it and goes almost black in a dark corner, which is worth choosing for rather than discovering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour, Hand Finish and What Arrives in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The body colour is made to order and this amber is one of a range that also runs to a smoke, a deep blue, a rose and a colourless version. The hands are offered in this white, a black or a colour matched to the body, and their marking can be left off. Scale is cut to order. The pedestal comes in this white, a black stone or a dark timber, and it can be left out where the figure is going straight onto a floor. Figure and pedestal travel in one crate in separate trays, and the two need no fixing: the figure simply sits on. It is a two-person lift out of the crate. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seated figure hiding its face in its hands belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/iconify-sculptures\"\u003eIconify sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; amber that darkens at the shoulders leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a figure to meet at its own level joins 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.8 x 18.5 x 15.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranslucent Cast Resin with Printed Hands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017465516379,"sku":"R005","price":3915.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R005.jpg?v=1791304011","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/translucent-amber-iconify-sitting-sculpture-75cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
