{"product_id":"amber-to-clear-windblown-figure-resin-sculpture-77cm","title":"Amber to Clear Windblown Figure Resin Sculpture - 77cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standing figure with the skirt swept back behind it and the upper body opening into a broad flare, on a block of black marble cut to the footprint of the foot. Amber gathers at the foot and gives out as the body rises, so the flare at the top is almost without colour. The black marble block is part of the piece and travels with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWeight at the Foot, None at the Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting the colour at the foot and taking it away at the top makes a heavy figure look as though it is lifting, which the form on its own does not do. The design is made at several heights and this is the one where the graduation has room to be seen: at the compact end of the design the change from amber to colourless happens too quickly to read as a change at all, and at the tall end it spreads out and loses its point. Amber concentrated where the body is thickest makes the skirt look heavy and the flare look weightless, which is the opposite of what the form alone would say. Polished over the whole figure, so the swept surfaces carry an unbroken highlight from foot to flare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall table, a sideboard or a broad shelf above waist height. A plain pale ground. A figure this busy in outline needs a quiet wall behind it. Light from one side follows the sweep of the skirt, while a source placed square to the front reduces the body to an outline. The figure reads as a figure from anywhere in a room, and the amber only declares itself within a few paces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTaking the Amber Into the Flare, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. The amber can be carried further up, the flare can be opened wider, and a pale stone block can replace the black one. Carry the amber to the flare and the figure stops looking as though it is lifting, because the weight is then everywhere at once. One crate holds figure and block together, and it arrives assembled. One person. Lift by the block and let the figure travel upright. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmber gathered at the foot and clearing towards the flare is one of the warmer treatments in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the swept, windblown line leads on to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and figures sized for a room wait 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\u003e71cm\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\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Amber to Clear on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54110888395099,"sku":"Z025","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z025.jpg?v=1790763522","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-to-clear-windblown-figure-resin-sculpture-77cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
