{"product_id":"blue-burst-centre-disc-resin-sculpture-70cm","title":"Blue Burst Centre Disc Resin Sculpture - 70cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted disc, blue at the rim and paling toward the middle, with a raised burst standing proud at the centre. Fine drip lines run out from the burst toward a banded edge, each one lifted above the ground it sits on. It is carried on a clear arched stand, which comes with the disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery Drip Line Has to Stay Separate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drip lines are the whole difficulty and they are a casting problem rather than a modelling one. Each is a thin raised ridge a few millimetres wide standing above a flat ground, and thin raised detail is exactly what a casting loses first: the material has to run right out to the tip of each before it begins to set, and any that fills short comes out as a stub. The answer is not to make them thicker, which would turn a burst into a flower. They are drawn instead with a slight taper from the centre outward, so the material is always running from a wider section into a narrower one and nothing has to travel uphill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 70cm on a stand that lifts it clear, it is console or sideboard work rather than shelf work, and it needs the full width of the stand. The burst reads from straight on and flattens from the side, so give it a position that is approached head on down a room or a hall. Light from above and slightly in front puts a shadow under every drip line, which is what separates them from the ground; light from directly in front loses the relief entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Burst, the Tint, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The burst is drawn broader or taken out and the ground left plain, the blue is graded from the rim inward or run flat, and the banded edge is cut away. A polished version is made and is another object altogether, since the frosting is what lets the raised detail cast a shadow at all. The disc is also built at other diameters on the same stand. Disc and stand travel in the same crate but in separate beds, and the disc is raised by its rim with a hand at each side. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA burst held inside a rim is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the blue body is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and drip lines this fine are \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e work.\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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 x 20 x 15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Cast Blue Resin on a Clear Arched Stand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069247770971,"sku":"X161","price":2564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X161.jpg?v=1790954993","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-burst-centre-disc-resin-sculpture-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
