{"product_id":"amber-rounded-mass-metal-and-resin-sculpture-107cm","title":"Amber Rounded Mass Metal \u0026 Resin Sculpture - 107cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rounded mass of amber resin cradled in a cruciform frame of dark metal, the arms closing under its widest part and carrying it clear of the floor. Amber through the mass, turning bronze where it thickens, against the near-black of the frame. The metal frame comes with it as part of the object, and nothing else is supplied beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Frame That Holds Without Touching\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frame holding a mass without touching most of it is the part of this design that has to be got right, since what the eye reads is the gap between the two. The arms meet the mass at four points and nowhere else. Everything between those points is air, and that gap is what tells you the two are separate objects rather than one thing with a coloured top to it. A translucent mass held in an opaque frame means light settles which is which, since it passes through the one and stops dead at the other. The mass is polished all over and the metal is left dark and matt, so neither takes a highlight from the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits a hall or a corner where it can stand alone, since the frame reads as furniture at a distance. A plain wall behind it, pale, because the dark frame needs the contrast and the amber does not. Light from behind sets the whole mass alight and leaves the frame as a silhouette. From across a room it reads as one object; nearer, the frame separates from what it holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAnother Metal, and a Two-Person Set-Down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBespoke commissions take 5–6 weeks; standard pieces take 3–4. The frame can be finished in another metal, the amber can be exchanged, and the mass can be set at another height within the frame. Set the mass at another height and the frame is remade to it, since the arms have to close under the widest part or the mass has nothing to sit in. Frame and mass are one object and travel as one, in a crate built round the frame rather than round the casting. Two people. The frame goes down first and the mass is lowered into it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dark cruciform frame holding an amber mass leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the cast mass itself is one of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more to stand alone in a hall is 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\u003e107cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin in a Metal Frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54112581124443,"sku":"Z356","price":4523.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z356.jpg?v=1790772294","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-rounded-mass-metal-and-resin-sculpture-107cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
