{"product_id":"blue-branching-splash-column-resin-sculpture-100cm","title":"Blue Branching Splash Column Resin Sculpture - 100cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA column of pale aqua blue that climbs rather than spreads, dividing twice on the way up and running colourless at the last. The blue is deepest at the foot where the material gathers and has gone entirely by the second division, so colour and height run together. The divisions are not level with each other: the first happens low and to one side, the second high and on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClimbing on a Plan Narrower Than Itself\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall piece on a small plan has one problem and it is settled before anything else is drawn. Everything above the first division has to bring its weight back down through the middle of the branching and into a footprint narrower than the branching itself, and the material at the foot is doing two separate jobs while it does that: it is the visual mass that makes the rise look intended, and it is the ballast that keeps the whole thing from behaving like a lever. Neither can be adjusted once the form is drawn. It is also why the divisions are staggered rather than matched, because two arms leaving at the same height on opposite sides would put the load exactly where it is least wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe branching is read against light passing through it, so it wants a window to one side rather than behind. Lit from directly behind, the arms flatten into a silhouette and the divisions disappear into one another; lit from the side, each one separates and the gaps between them open up. With its marble it stands 100cm, about waist height on the floor and at eye level on a low console, and either works. What it does not want is a low ceiling or an overhead spot, both of which push the shadow down into the branching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeight, Tint and Stone, Set at Order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. Its footprint is narrow for its height, so the load has to come down through the middle of the branching. The tint can be changed or left out and the column drawn to any height, while the marble beneath comes in black or a pale stone. The point at which the blue gives out is set with the height, so a piece that stays blue to the top is made where a stronger colour is wanted. It travels upright, the marble in its own box, and the column is set on the stone on site; that is the only assembly there is. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pale blue column forking twice on its climb from black marble leads to 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\u003e94cm\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\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin, Graded from Blue to Clear, 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":54054186713435,"sku":"L032","price":2915.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L032.jpg?v=1791883151","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-branching-splash-column-resin-sculpture-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
