{"product_id":"blue-crossed-loop-on-marble-resin-sculpture-42cm","title":"Blue Crossed Loop on Marble Resin Sculpture - 48cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA loop of frosted blue resin that crosses itself once, a little below the middle, so that it stands as a figure of eight, with a broad loop above the crossing and a tighter one below it. The band twists as it climbs, turning its inner face to the front in the upper loop, where the blue thins to a pale, icy tone, while the lower loop and the outer edges hold a deep sapphire. Its white marble block is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Band Twisting Through a Figure of Eight\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed loop is a shape with no beginning, and the eye hunts for one until it is given something. The crossing gives it here, set a little below the middle, so the figure divides into one broad loop and one tighter one, which the eye reads as a figure rather than a pattern. The twist does the rest. Because the band turns as it climbs, the upper loop shows its inner face, and there the colour clears almost to ice, while the tighter loop and every outer edge stay a deep sapphire. The frosting keeps that change soft, a gradual clearing rather than a line, and it stops the surface returning the room along the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its block the figure of eight stands 48cm high, so a console, a desk or a wide shelf will take it, set where people meet it head on and from either side, since the twist changes the figure as you move round it. It wants a plain ground behind, because the whole piece is an outline and a patterned wall competes directly with it. Light from behind brightens the pale face inside the upper loop; light from the front gathers the band into one deep blue shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Crossing, the Grade, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. The crossing can be moved up or down the loop, which changes the proportion of the two loops and alters the piece more than anything else. The band can be twisted more tightly or more loosely, the section drawn rounder or flatter, and the blue graded more strongly or held deep all over. A high polish can replace the frosting, though it returns the room along the whole band and competes with the colour, and the block can be cut in black marble. It ships flat on its side, the stone boxed apart. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA loop crossing itself once is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; a closed curve is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the blue is graded inside \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 30 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on White Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54075794522459,"sku":"H103","price":2583.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H103.jpg?v=1791934407","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-crossed-loop-on-marble-resin-sculpture-42cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
