{"product_id":"amber-combed-spiral-wound-form-resin-sculpture-34cm","title":"Amber Combed Spiral Wound Form Resin Sculpture - 34cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn amber spiral, one lobe combed into a grid and the rest left clear. The clear half shows the room behind it displaced by the curvature of the body, and the combed lobe breaks the same view into a field of small cells, so each half of the piece explains what the other is doing. It settles on the curve of its own shell and is supplied without a stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Lobe Combed, the Rest Left Alone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTexturing part of a transparent body and not the rest is a way of giving the eye two things to compare, and it only works if the division is obvious. Combed over the whole shell the grid would cancel itself out and the piece would read as frosted; confined to one lobe, with clear polished material beside it, each half explains the other. The clear part shows what is behind the piece, displaced by the curvature; the combed part breaks that into a field of small cells and hands back a texture instead. Which lobe gets the grid is the second decision, and it is the outer one, because the spiral is read from the outside in. Putting the texture at the end of the movement rather than the beginning gives the eye somewhere to arrive, and a wound form with no destination is just a curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 34cm it sits on a table, a desk or a shelf and is read close. It settles on its own curve, so it will sit on any flat surface, though it wants one that will not let it rock. The grid is the part worth lighting: a lamp to one side gives each cell of the combed lobe its own value, while an overhead light flattens the whole field into a single grey patch and the contrast with the clear lobe disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Grid, the Amber, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild times separate standard from bespoke: 3–4 weeks against 5–6. The combed lobe is drawn over more of the shell, the amber is lifted, and the spiral is wound tighter. The mesh is cut at other scales and drawn over more of the body, which changes the balance the piece depends on. A tint through the body is offered and fights the design, since colour in the casting competes with the displacement the clear lobe is there to show. It is crated alone, seated on its broadest curve with the point packed clear, since the wound end is the thinnest section and would take a knock first. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spiral wound to a closed centre belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; amber left clear beside a combed lobe leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a piece to read close on a desk joins 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\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070796648795,"sku":"X239","price":2294.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X239.jpg?v=1790958402","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-combed-spiral-wound-form-resin-sculpture-34cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
