{"product_id":"amber-and-violet-two-part-disc-resin-sculpture-36cm","title":"Amber \u0026 Violet Two Part Disc Resin Sculpture - 36cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standing disc, slim from front to back, divided down a ragged vertical seam. One half is smooth translucent amber and the other is opaque violet combed into fine parallel lines from edge to centre. The seam wanders rather than running straight, and the disc is supplied on its own with nothing to raise it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Disc Asked to Be Two Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo finishes on one face is easy; two finishes that read as two MATERIALS is not, and the whole of this piece is the second problem. The amber half transmits, so it has depth and its colour changes with the light behind it. The violet half is combed, which means it scatters everything and holds one value whatever is behind it. Set those side by side across a straight line and the eye reads a painted join. The seam is therefore drawn to wander, stepping in and out a little along its length, because a boundary between two real materials is never a ruled line. That single decision is what makes the object work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 36cm its place is a mantel, a bookshelf or a desk rather than anywhere it has to fill. The two halves want different things from the light and cannot both be satisfied, so choose: light from behind brings the amber up and leaves the violet flat, and light raking across the front brings the combing up and closes the amber. A position with some of each through the day is the honest answer, which usually means near a window and not facing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Seam, the Comb, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The seam is drawn straighter or made more broken, the comb is cut coarser, and either half is taken to another colour. A version in which both halves are combed is made and is a quieter, more uniform object, since the contrast is what this one is for. The disc is also cast at other diameters. It is sent in one flat case faced on both sides, standing on its edge in the packing as it stands in the room, and one person lifts it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne disc answering itself across a seam is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the amber half is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and combed violet reads under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e light.\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\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber and Violet Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069247672667,"sku":"X119","price":2092.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X119.jpg?v=1790953163","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-and-violet-two-part-disc-resin-sculpture-36cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
