{"product_id":"blue-and-clear-filament-split-disc-resin-sculpture-36cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Clear Filament Split Disc Resin Sculpture - 36cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear resin disc, split from the top edge by a deep, rounded slot. The two halves rise from one solid body and part as they climb, so a clear gap opens between them at the top. A band of blue curves round inside the cup just above the point where they join, while the tops of both halves stay almost colourless. Below it the resin clouds to a smoky grey, with fine white filaments and black threads drifting right through the material and a darker plume rising from the foot. No base comes with it and the disc stands on the flat it is cast with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Halves Rising From One Solid Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSplitting a disc and drawing the halves apart gives it two characters at once: below the slot it is one solid, weighty body, and above it two slender halves stand clear of each other. The colour is set against that division. The blue gathers in a band that sweeps through the cup a little above the join, so the deepest tint sits where the halves meet the solid body, while their tops are left almost clear. Beneath the band the filaments take over, white strands and fine black threads crossing one another through the body and running up into both halves, which ties the split form back together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA desk, a shelf or a window ledge suits it, and a ledge is best of the three because everything this piece does depends on light arriving from behind. Set against a wall the gap closes up visually and the filaments go dark. It wants a few centimetres of clearance on both sides so the split reads as a gap rather than a shadow. The split runs right through the body, so a light behind it comes out between the two halves as a bright line the rest of the disc has nothing to answer with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFilaments, Spans and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. The filaments are drawn denser or left out, the blue is carried down to the foot instead of held in its band, and the split is opened wider. The disc is cast at other diameters, and the split is placed to the size instead of held where it is. The resin can also be tinted in another colour, and the filament work reads quite differently under each tint. Where a quieter object is wanted the filaments are drawn sparsely through the floor alone. One box takes it, supported beneath the foot rather than against the halves, and it is lifted out the same way, from below. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA disc opened along its own line is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the filaments are trapped in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a form meant to be lit from behind is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e31cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue and Clear Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54077559570779,"sku":"H008","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H008.jpg?v=1791930693","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-clear-filament-split-disc-resin-sculpture-36cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
