{"product_id":"blue-closing-curve-resin-sculpture-22cm","title":"Blue Closing Curve Resin Sculpture - 22cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA polished blue curve, thick in section and closing almost into a circle without ever quite meeting. The material is deepest where the section is at its fullest and lightens toward both of its ends. It is raised on a short clear stem set into a black disc, and the disc and stem come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMass Is the Point, Not the Outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curve this size could have been drawn thin and elegant and would have been a worse object. Thin, a closing arc reads as a line and the eye follows it round to the gap and stops; there is nothing to come back for. Given real section it stops being a line and becomes a mass with a hole taken out of it, and a transparent mass has an inside: the blue deepens through the thick of the curve and thins at the ends, so the colour maps the section and the object rewards turning it over. That is also why it is polished rather than frosted. Frosting would stop the light at the surface and put the thin drawing back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a hand object. Put it where someone can pick it up - a desk, a low table beside a chair, a shelf at arm's height - and it will get picked up. On a high shelf it is a blue shape and nothing more. It needs light close by and from one side, since the colour reads deepest through the thick of the curve and thins to almost nothing at the two ends. At 22cm it occupies almost no surface on a desk, and its black disc keeps it steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Section, the Gap, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. The gap is drawn wider or closed entirely into a ring, the section is cast fuller, and the blue is taken toward green or lifted paler. A frosted version is offered and is a completely different object for the reason above. Other sizes are built to order, and the gap can be drawn narrower on them because the mass carries it. It is sent in one padded box, the curve in a shaped bed and the disc packed beside it, and it lifts in one hand. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curve closing on itself is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the blue mass is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and something meant to be handled is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on a Black Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069532459355,"sku":"X170","price":1552.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X170.jpg?v=1790956283","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-closing-curve-resin-sculpture-22cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
