It leans back on that rim. The centre of the face holds amber against a dark wall and clears to a pale teal against a light one, blue gathers through the bottom quarter, and the rim returns lime across the crown, magenta and red down one side and amber and yellow down the other, where the small planes catch the light at their own angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Disc Is Read Through Its Thickness\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA disc is read through its THICKNESS, and that is what sets it apart from a block. Look at a block and you see one face at a time; look at a disc square on and you are looking through the whole of it, front face and back face together, so whatever stands behind it becomes part of the colour. Against a dark wall the film at the centre returns amber; against a pale one the same face clears and turns cool, and the piece changes with the room it is in. The rim's own small planes are angled to return a different hue altogether, so the edge holds as a line whatever the centre is doing. The lean is there for the same reason - upright, a disc shows its thinnest dimension to the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm this is shelf, desk and cabinet-top work and it has a definite front: seen from the side it is a narrow leaf. So it wants a position facing into the room - a shelf, a mantel, a windowsill, or a console against a wall - rather than one it is passed sideways. What stands behind it decides its centre: a dark wall brings the amber up, while a light behind it turns the centre pale and cool and picks the rim out as a bright outline. A light in front returns the two flat faces and very little of the depth that is the point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlat Area, Film and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. The two large faces pace this build, because flat area is what takes the time to bring up and a disc is mostly flat area. The diameter, the thickness and the lean are drawn per commission, so a version standing upright, one cut much thicker, or one leaned further back are all from this design. The film is chosen with the order between this amber and blue, a magenta-to-gold and a green-to-cyan, and the rim can be left unfilmed so the outline reads clear. It is stood on its rim and leaned back where it is to go, held by its two faces and never by the small planes of the rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA disc leaned back on its rim, its centre turning from amber to pale teal with the wall behind it, is catalogued in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024447394139,"sku":"C039","price":2175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C039.jpg?v=1792160587","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-and-blue-faceted-disc-acrylic-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
