The Process

Each piece begins as foam, hand sculpted before it ever meets resin. From that, a silicone mould is cast, over the foam sculpture, that makes a mould for the resin. Then liquid resin takes over, poured and left to move the way water actually moves. Once it sets, light does the rest: dancing across the transparent resin, refracting and rippling like the surface of real water.

Honestly? Weeks to months. There are layers upon layers built on the foam base to create the right height, textures and shaping of the way. The silicone mould is the fast part, taking a day. Pouring the resin is a process, and needs to be done in small layers, day by day to ensure the resin sets correctly and allows all air bubbles to escape.
Epoxy Resin. This is a two part liquid system, one being a hardener that in the drying process turns the resin into its solid glass like form.
Yes. The texture, depth and movement in the resin happen during the pour itself, so no two pieces ever set exactly the same.
Each piece is sealed and finished for indoor display. Resin naturally yellows over time so we don't recommend hanging in full direct sunlight all day.
The transparency in the resin reacts to light the same way real water does. The ripples and depth you see will shift slightly throughout the day, and from different angles. Just like real moving water.
Wipe with a soft, dry or damp cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and harsh chemicals to keep the resin clear and the colours true.

Yes, they come framed in a deep set, oak frame. There will be an option to have these unframed so you can frame these in a colour or timber choice of your own to suit your own home. Each piece comes with a timber backing attached to the back of the piece allowing it to be drilled into a frame without affectingthe resin itself. The pieces are heavy, and all our framing will come with D-rings and wire, or a cleat. We recommend hanging these directly into a framing stud.
