{"product_id":"blue-and-green-shell-resin-sculpture-110cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Green Shell Resin Sculpture - 110cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell turns back on itself and the whole of the outer face is broken into ridges that run with the curl. Teal through the whole shell, deepest where it curls back on itself and palest along the broken edge. Beneath it is a deep black block, supplied with the shell, which meets it at its narrowest point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour That Deepens With Every Thickness\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ridges all run with the curl rather than across it, so the eye is carried round the turn instead of counting bands on the way. Where the shell laps over itself the ridges of the two faces are drawn to pass rather than to meet, and that is what keeps the overlap readable at all. A shell that curls back on itself hides most of its own inside, and a tinted body is what makes the hidden part legible: the colour deepens with every thickness the eye has to look through. Polished over the outer face with the broken edge left as cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs a console with room to be passed on both sides. It wants to be met at about waist height. A pale ground behind it, because the teal is darkest exactly along the outline. Side light finds the ridges; straight-on light returns one flat sheet of colour. The curl is what carries; the ridges belong to the near view.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Curl, Another Teal, and a Pallet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. On request the curl is opened further, the teal is exchanged, or the block is cut to another plan. Open the curl and the shell is drawn deeper behind it, because the weight moves forward as it opens. How far the curl is opened is settled before casting. One crate on a pallet, and the shell travels on its side. Three people for the lift, and the broken edge is what will catch. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA teal shell curling back over its own opening leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the ridged casting joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and it wants passing room on both sides 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\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\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\u003e30 x 25 x 10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue and Green Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54154469507419,"sku":"Z581","price":3847.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z581.jpg?v=1790776209","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-green-shell-resin-sculpture-110cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
