{"product_id":"aqua-looped-scholars-rock-resin-sculpture-150cm","title":"Aqua Looped Scholar's Rock Resin Sculpture - 150cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis resin scholar's rock stands on a marble block that comes with it. The material closes into two great loops, one above the other, so most of the outline is void: a wide upper ring and a second below it, joined by a twisted column of material at the middle. The body is a clear aqua throughout, deepest through the twisted column.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Great Loops, One Above the Other\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA form that closes completely is rare, and this one does it twice. The upper loop is the wider and its inner edge is almost circular, which at this scale reads as a deliberate aperture rather than as erosion. Below it the material gathers, twists through about a quarter turn, and opens again into a second loop set at a different angle, so the two apertures never line up and the piece frames two separate views of whatever is behind it. The surface is rippled in broad folds along both loops and pinched tight where they meet, and the whole object is polished, so each fold carries a highlight that runs as you move. The aqua is carried in the material and it is unequal: nearly clear along the thin inner edges of both loops, and a full blue-green through the twisted column, which weights the middle of a form that is otherwise mostly air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 150cm on its block it stands best on the floor, where its upper loop meets the eye. A hallway, an entrance hall, a gallery, a showroom or a wide landing all suit it, and it is at its best where it can be walked past rather than approached head on, since the two loops open different views as you move. It needs clear floor round the block and something plain behind, and daylight behind it rather than in front is what fills the apertures. Set against a wall it loses both loops at once, which is most of the object. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Loops, the Aqua and What Carries It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The loops are the decision: two as here, or one for a considerably simpler and much stronger object, or three, which the studio builds only at a greater height. Their diameters and the angle between them are set at order and it is worth deciding from the position, since the whole point is what they frame. On colour: this aqua is standard, with a green, an amber, a smoke grey and a colourless version all made, and the depth adjustable so the thin edges can be brought to nearly clear or the whole body run even. The marble block is part of the order, and a pedestal can be made to stand it on, on request. It travels standing in a purpose-built crate with both loops braced across their spans, needs a wide clear route, and takes four people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo great loops of aqua one above the other belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a twisted column joining two apertures sets it among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and blue-green deepest through the column suits 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\u003e140cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x 40 x 10cm, Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin with Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956811424091,"sku":"T134","price":7223.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T134.jpg?v=1790859484","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/aqua-looped-scholars-rock-resin-sculpture-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
