{"product_id":"blue-closed-ring-wave-cast-resin-sculpture-85cm","title":"Blue Closed Ring Wave Cast Resin Sculpture - 85cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue water carried round until it closes on itself, its crest breaking over the top of the ring and not at one side. The circle is not a true one: it is fuller on one side than the other, and the water coming down the far side runs back into the foot it rose from. The blue is deep around the foot and up both sides and pale across the top, which is the opposite of how the material usually falls and is what keeps the crest from looking heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Heaviest Part Is the Furthest From the Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece carries its mass high rather than low. The crest is at the top of a closed circle, which means the heaviest part of the object sits as far from the foot as it can get, with a ring of material between the two that is thinner than either. A ring under that kind of load wants to go oval, and an oval that was meant to be a circle is one of the few faults in this material that cannot be corrected afterwards. So the material is put where the bending is, massed at the two sides and eased at the top and the bottom, which is also why the colour runs the way it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed circle frames whatever stands beyond it, so it does more with depth in front of it than with a wall at its back. Set against plaster the hole simply reads as a lighter patch of the same wall; set on a surface in the middle of a room, or in a window, it frames a view and changes as anyone walks past it. Its 85cm suits a low console or a wide sideboard with clear air above it rather than a shelf, where the break of the crest is met at about eye height. Given the choice, put it where people approach from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Circle, and Standing It Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The circle closes on itself and the crest sits at the top of the closure, so the heaviest part of the piece is the part furthest from the foot. The blue can be taken to a green, and the circle can be drawn open at the top. Tint depth is settled with the order, and the colour can run evenly through the whole ring instead of deepening towards the foot. It travels upright in a crate built to the outside of the ring with the crest faced separately, and it is lifted out by the foot and set down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed ring of blue water breaking into spray at its crown points 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\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54054187368795,"sku":"L052","price":3384.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L052__2.jpg?v=1791883191","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-closed-ring-wave-cast-resin-sculpture-85cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
