From a narrow foot two strands climb and part to leave an upright oval loop, one strand fringed with a little spray of points. Above the loop the water widens into a rippled band that sweeps right round in a broad swirl, its edge torn into points and pierced by a small round opening. At the top it gathers into a crest that sends out two fine tendrils, one hooking away to the side with a drip at its end, the other reaching straight up. Blue gathers most densely in the foot and the loop, softens across the swirl and is gone by the tendrils, which are clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Blue Ribbon Whirling Up From an Open Loop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast in clear resin tinted blue, the piece is built from long, rippled strands that run with the movement of the water, so every turn of the swirl is lined with fine ribs and each rib carries its own streak of brightness. The colour is graded rather than banded: dense and saturated where the strands gather at the foot, paler where the band opens out and absent from the crest, so the water seems to lose its depth as it is flung higher. The open loop is what gives the form its lift. Because the swirl rises out of two slender strands, daylight shows beneath its broadest part, and the whole movement seems to spring from a single point on the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised on its plinth, the swirl needs floor space in an entrance hall, a hotel reception or a broad landing above the stairs, where people can walk round it and watch the loop and the swirl shift against each other. At 190cm with its plinth, it holds the crest and its tendrils just above the eye of a standing visitor, where a high window or a ceiling lamp catches the clear tips. A plain pale wall behind it keeps the blue clean, and a spotlight angled from one side runs a bright line along each ripple. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDeeper Blue, Longer Tendrils and the Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. The order is the swirl and its plinth together, sold individually. Commissioned, the blue can be taken deeper and carried further up into the swirl, or kept to the loop at the foot, and the two tendrils can be drawn out longer or curled in more tightly; another stone, or another height, can be chosen for the plinth. The sculpture travels upright in a padded crate with each tendril braced, the plinth in a crate of its own, and it is seated on the plinth once both have been unpacked. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue ribbon of water whirling up from an open loop to two clear tendrils belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x 40 x 70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue and Clear Cast Resin on a Black Marble Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54345575956827,"sku":"L042","price":4350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L042.jpg?v=1791910958","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-clear-ribbon-swirl-wave-on-plinth-resin-sculpture-190cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
