Amber deepest at the crown and easing downward, so the colour gathers furthest from the hand. A dark steel plate is supplied under it, thin and a little wider than the column's foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWeight Put Where There Is Least of It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting the deepest colour at the crown asks the material to do the opposite of what gravity suggests, which is the whole reason this version of the column exists. Colour in a clear body ordinarily settles: put the strongest tint at the foot and the piece looks planted. This one is graded the other way, so a column that is physically identical top and bottom appears to be gathering substance as it goes up. Putting the deepest amber at the top of a clear body means the material is heaviest in colour where it is lightest in fact, and the column appears to be filling rather than emptying as it rises. Polished throughout, and the plate is left dark and matt so it takes no highlight from the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landing, an alcove or the end of a corridor. It takes almost no floor and rewards being seen from a distance. A pale ground behind it, so the graduation at the crown has something to be read against. Light from above pours down the inside of the twist; light from the foot does nothing for it at all. The colour gradient carries across a room, and the twist itself only resolves when you are close enough to look up it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRunning the Graduation the Other Way, and One Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinarily a standard piece needs 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The graduation can be run the other way, the amber can be exchanged, and the plate can be had in stone. Run the graduation the other way and the column reads as settling, which undoes the one thing this version is for. One tall crate, the plate packed separately, and no tools are needed to marry them on site. Two people. It is light for its height, which is what makes it awkward rather than easy. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dark steel plate under this amber column belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the column's colour, deepest at the crown, joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a landing or an alcove is its place among 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\u003e150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 20 x 4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin on a Stainless Steel Plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54113488765275,"sku":"Z663","price":2902.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z663.jpg?v=1790779364","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-twisted-column-resin-sculpture-154cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
