Every line of it is a separate strip of acrylic laid on the one below, so the slopes step rather than slide. It is clear at the peaks and deepens to blue where the reflection gathers, darkest at the two points. A marble base is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Ridge and Its Reflection Built Strip by Strip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mountain made from stacked strips has no surface of its own; it is the edges of the strips that make the slope, and the slope is only as smooth as the steps are fine. That is why the steps are kept visible here rather than polished away. From straight on the ridge reads as one silhouette, and from any angle off the front it breaks back into its layers, so the piece changes character as someone walks the length of it. The blue belongs to the strips nearest the foot, which lets the reflected half hold its colour while the summits above stay almost weightless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs a long surface or a long wall to stand in front of: a sideboard, a low cabinet, a reception counter with nothing else along it. Give it a plain pale wall and the ridge line is drawn against it cleanly; a busy wall swallows the upper steps. Light from one end rakes along the strips and picks out every edge. From across a room the ridge and its reflection read as one shape, and the layering appears only as you come closer to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Ridge Line, the Blue and a Long Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild times separate standard from bespoke: 3–4 weeks against 5–6. Three things can be settled at the order. The summits can be drawn to a different profile, the blue can be taken higher up the strips or kept to the reflection alone, and the marble base can be exchanged for another stone. Change the number of summits and the reflection follows it, since each summit is repeated beneath the line. It is lifted on to its base by the body, with a hand under each end, and never by a summit or the tail. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more stacked strips see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; for landscapes drawn from nature, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and for pieces made to live inside, \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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLayered Clear and Blue Acrylic on a 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":54208183304539,"sku":"C013","price":14849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C013.jpg?v=1792004487","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-clear-long-ridge-layered-acrylic-sculpture-200cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
