{"product_id":"blue-and-green-spined-faceted-gem-acrylic-sculpture-90cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Green Spined Faceted Gem Acrylic Sculpture - 90cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall acrylic sculpture with a single arris running unbroken from near the foot to the top, slanting across its front. The large faces are arranged about that edge, so the piece has a spine and reads differently from either flank. The film returns blue and green through the body, with amber at the tip of the crown and a pale peach at the foot, and the arris itself shows as a fine bright line where the two faces meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Arris Running the Whole Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne arris running the full height gives the piece a spine, and everything else is set out from it. The faces are not drawn first with the arrises left to fall out between them: the spine is cut first, straight and true for its whole length, and each face is then worked to it - so an error in a face is corrected in the face rather than by moving the edge. The reason is that a spine is the one line a viewer follows from foot to tip, and a spine that wanders is the most visible fault a block like this can have. The bright line along it is a consequence: the two faces meet at a sharp angle there, and the edge catches the light where the faces either side of it do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt ninety centimetres it is a floor piece for a room rather than a table one, and what it wants is a position where the slant of the spine can be read against something upright - beside a door frame, at the end of a run of cabinets, against a plain wall, or in an alcove. That is what makes the line read as deliberate. Give it clear space to one side so both flanks can be reached; the two read differently and a piece jammed into a corner shows only one. Light from either flank rather than head-on: raking light runs a bright line up the spine, and frontal light loses it altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCut First, Worked To, and Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. The spine paces this build - it is cut first and every face is worked to it, so nothing else can start until it is true. Height, the arrangement of the faces and the film go on the order: gallery scale, or a spine set upright instead of slanting. Film options are three: blue and green as here, magenta-to-gold, or a violet that reads nearly black. It is stood in place and turned to show whichever flank you want, taken by the broad faces and never by the arris. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall crystal with one long arris slanting across its blue-green front sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic 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\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024447983963,"sku":"C056","price":3874.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C056.jpg?v=1792011310","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-green-spined-faceted-gem-acrylic-sculpture-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
