Amber and colourless alternate along the twist, so the colour climbs the piece rather than sitting in it. A block of black marble is supplied beneath the column.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCounting the Turns by Colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA column this slender and this tall has almost no plan to be read from, so everything it does has to happen up its length. Alternating the colour along a twist gives the height a scale it would not otherwise have: the turns can be counted from across a room, and a column that would read as a post becomes something with a measurable rhythm in it. Amber arriving and leaving along a twist makes the height readable: you can count the turns by the colour without following the form at all, which on so narrow a form is the only way the piece is legible from a distance. Polished the whole way up, with the twist kept crisp so the alternation stays sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs a corner, a hall, or the side of a stair, where height is available and width is not. Pale and plain. A narrow piece against a busy wall disappears into it. A downlight follows the twist and makes the amber passages glow in sequence. At room distance the alternation is what is seen, and it does more than the form alone would at this width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRunning the Amber Through, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The twist can be tightened, the amber can be run continuously, and the piece can be made at other heights. Run the amber continuously and the turns stop being countable, which is what currently gives a narrow column its scale. It travels on its side in one crate and is raised into position after unpacking. Two people at this height, both at the block, keeping it vertical. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlender columns twisting in amber and clear continue in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the alternating casting belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and pieces for a narrow space are in 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\u003e111cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin in Amber and Clear on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54110891704667,"sku":"Z123","price":3105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z123.jpg?v=1790768227","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-and-clear-twisting-column-resin-sculpture-117cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
