{"product_id":"blue-and-white-layered-windblown-figure-sculpture-109cm","title":"Blue \u0026 White Layered Windblown Figure Sculpture - 109cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA windblown figure in blue and white cast resin, the swept form carried well above table height, the flare opening wide at the top, on a block of dark stone. Blue lies over white rather than mixing into it, so the two stay separable everywhere on the body. Seen from the side, the blue edges draw the outline and the white fills it. The black marble comes with the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Colours That Will Not Mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this height the design becomes a room object rather than a table one, and keeping two colours in visible layers is what stops it reading as bulk. Keeping two colours apart in one body is harder than blending them and the difference is visible from across a room: a blended body reads as one pale tone, and this one reads as a blue laid over a white with both still doing their own work. Two colours that refuse to blend leave the body with a blue layer over a white one, and at this height that layering is what carries across a room. A full gloss. Anything less and the white would take a cast from the blue lying over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wants a console or a floor-standing plinth with room around it. Stand it against a mid-tone or dark ground. White on white takes half the piece away. Even light suits it; a hard source puts a highlight on the white and flattens the blue over it. The two layers read from across a room, which is unusual for a body this pale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMixing the Layers, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The proportion of white can be raised, the layering spread into a graduation, and the design is made at other heights. Spread the two into one another and the layering goes, which is the single thing separating this from every other version. How much of the body is given to each colour is open, and raising the white raises the apparent weight of the piece rather than lightening it, because white is the opaque half of the pair and the blue is the half you see through. One crate. Two people set it down at this height. Two people, both at the stone, keeping the flare clear.
