{"product_id":"amber-and-smoke-leaning-slab-resin-sculpture-51cm","title":"Amber \u0026 Smoke Leaning Slab Resin Sculpture - 51cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree flat plates stacked and leaning in one direction on a footprint no bigger than a hand, with nothing supplied beneath the lowest of them. Amber and smoke grey alternate up the stack, so no two touching slabs are the same colour and the eye counts them without trying. The bottom slab is the foot and no base is supplied with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Colours That Refuse to Mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA footprint the size of a hand under so much leaning mass leaves no margin anywhere, and alternating the colours is what stops the stack reading as a single unstable pile. A stack this narrow has no margin anywhere: the centre of mass has to stay inside a square the size of a hand, and every degree the lean is opened has to be paid for by moving a plate back the other way. Amber and grey do opposite things to light in the same body: the amber passes it and warms it, the grey holds it back, and where the two overlap you get a third tone that belongs to neither. Flat polished faces with the edges left square, which keeps each slab reading as a separate plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mantelpiece or a bookshelf suits it, where its small footprint is the point. Set it against a mid-tone ground. White kills the amber and black kills the grey, so something between them keeps both. Light from the front separates the two colours; light from directly above collapses the grey to near black. The lean is legible from anywhere in a room. Which slab is amber and which is grey needs about two paces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReordering the Colours, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The order of the colours can change, a third tone can be introduced, and the lean can be taken further over. Take the lean further and the footprint has to widen with it, because on so narrow a base there is nothing left to spare. One crate, travelling on its side, and it is stood up once the packing is off. One person, both hands around the middle slab, and set it down before letting go of the top. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlabs of amber and smoke leaning on a hand-sized footprint are found in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the one-way lean belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its alternating casting sits in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e51cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin in Amber and Smoke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54110886494555,"sku":"Z050","price":2430.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z050.jpg?v=1790766980","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-and-smoke-leaning-slab-resin-sculpture-51cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
