{"product_id":"blue-craggy-rock-resin-sculpture-43cm","title":"Blue Craggy Rock Resin Sculpture - 43cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cast resin sculpture is a rock form, long and low like a ridge seen from the side. It is worked with a rough granular surface and a stepped, terraced profile rather than a smooth one. Colour runs vertically: a pale aqua holds the crown and the upper ledges, and it deepens steadily to a strong saturated blue along the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTerraced Ledges Under a Rough Granular Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surface is the first thing and it is not polished anywhere. Every face is broken into a fine granular texture, close to the fracture on a split block of ice, and it holds the light in a dull scatter instead of a highlight, which is what stops a piece of clear blue material reading as glass. Over that the form is terraced: a broad low ledge on one side, a step up to a plateau, and a further rise to the highest point, so the profile is a series of stages rather than a single dome. The highest point is set well off centre, which keeps the ridge from settling into symmetry. Colour is carried in the material, so the blue deepens where the mass is heaviest and the crown ledges stay pale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a surface piece. At 43cm it suits a coffee table, a console, a sideboard, a wide shelf or a hall table, and its weight means nothing needs to go under it. Being broad and low it reads best from above and from a seated height, so a coffee table is the natural home rather than a high shelf. A dark or a mid ground under it deepens the blue considerably, and a white surface bleaches the crown. Side light picks up the granular skin; a downlight puts a flat patch on the top and loses it. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAqua to Blue, the Granular Skin, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. On the colour: this aqua to blue is standard, and a green to jade, an amber to brown, and a colourless version with no gradient are all made; the direction can also be reversed so the deepest tone sits at the crown. On the surface: the granular skin is standard, and a polished version is made, which turns the object into something much brighter and considerably less like stone. No base is supplied, since a flat underside is cast in. It is boxed by itself, the crown and ledges wrapped against knocks, and is easily carried by one person. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerraced ledges under a granular skin belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; an aqua outcrop for a coffee table joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a rock drawn from nature sits among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\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":53956650926427,"sku":"X142","price":2362.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X142.jpg?v=1790954944","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-craggy-rock-resin-sculpture-43cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
