World-class exhibits demand decor that bridges the gap between functional mimicry and breathtaking art. Variance’s sculpture department achieves a delicate balance between naturalistic realism, animal safety, ease of keeper maintenance, and scenic composition through skillful employment of a wide variety of modern materials and techniques. 

Decades of experience allow our on-staff sculptors to build the world of your imagination and securely, seamlessly stuff it in a stainless steel box.

Does your exhibit call for a lightweight tree buttress accented by realistic vines and roots? No problem– our experience in custom expanding foam subtractive sculpture techniques, stainless steel armature forming, and resin molding/pigmenting will deliver. 

Do you need a convincing bamboo forest that will fit within two feet of exhibit depth? A combination of thermoformed PVC, skillfully layered acrylic paint, and unique organic stamping methods over epoxy clay will transport you to the grove.
