{"product_id":"amber-stacked-faceted-block-resin-sculpture-34cm","title":"Amber Stacked Faceted Block Resin Sculpture - 34cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stack of amber resin blocks, resting on the lowest of them. Four faceted blocks, each sitting on the one beneath at an angle and each turned further round than the last, the whole stack rising off the lowest of them. Amber at the top yellows steadily toward the foot, so the stack lightens as it comes down. Nothing comes under it. The lowest block in the stack is the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Far a Block Can Lean\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stack of blocks at angles is a piece about how far a thing can lean before it stops looking deliberate. Every block leans on the one beneath it, and because the whole stack is amber the depth of colour changes wherever the mass gathers, which no drawn line could have shown. No join shows anywhere between the four blocks, so the stack reads as one mass that happens to be faceted rather than as an assembly. Polished on every face, which is how the amber can be seen through four thicknesses at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA desk, a bedside or a bookshelf, where it can be looked into. A dark ground makes the amber glow; a pale one washes it out completely. Light entering one block comes out of another, and moving the lamp changes which faces are lit. The colour carries and the stacking does not; from away it is one amber shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Angles, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. More blocks or fewer are set, the angles are opened, and the amber is taken toward red. Open the angles and the stack spreads instead of climbing, so the footprint is what changes. Four is what the stack is drawn for, and asking for five or for three is a change to the proportion rather than an addition to it. It travels alone in a fitted crate, bedded on the widest face of the lowest block. One person, but it is dense and heavier than its size suggests. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaceted amber blocks turned against one another sit in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the rising, twisting stack belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the amber-to-yellow casting joins 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\u003e34cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Amber to Yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101662990683,"sku":"Z047","price":2764.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z047.jpg?v=1790766966","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-stacked-faceted-block-resin-sculpture-34cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
