The sculpture itself is a grid of faceted blue acrylic forms, each cut to a shallow pyramid and held apart from the next on a fine armature, so the eye sees between them as well as into them. The case around it is clear acrylic, and the plinth beneath is marble finished to a close even grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Faceted Grid Held on a Fine Armature\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA grid of separate faceted forms is a different discipline from a single carved mass. Each pyramid is cut and polished on its own, and because a facet returns light at whatever angle it happens to sit, the whole piece depends on the forms being set to the same rake - one out of true and the eye finds it immediately as a dull square in a bright field. They are therefore set against a jig rather than by eye and the armature is trimmed to each one as it goes in. The case is a separate build entirely: four clear panels and a top, mitred and brought up bright on every edge, because a case that shows its own joints puts them between the viewer and the work. The marble is chosen for evenness rather than figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cased piece on a plinth is a gallery object and behaves like one: it wants to be walked around and lit from more than one side. At 170cm the work sits at standing eye level, which is what the plinth height is for. Give it clear floor all round if you can. A plain wall behind it does more for the lattice than a busy one, because the light passing between the forms is the point and a patterned background fills those gaps in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Case, the Plinth, and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The lattice can be built to another grid, and the facet colour is specified with the order. The case can be left off for an open piece, and the plinth is available in other stones or in a painted steel. This arrives as three items, work, case and plinth, and is assembled on site in that order, the practical way to bring a cased piece this tall into a room. The plinth is the heavy part and wants two people. The case travels in its own crate and is the last thing lifted into place, once the work is standing and level. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA faceted grid held on a fine armature belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; blue pyramids cased in clear acrylic lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a gallery object on marble joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSculpture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH80 x W43 x D43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH88 x W45 x D45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH82 x W45 x D45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Cast Acrylic with Marble Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003699646811,"sku":"Y035","price":12756.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y035.jpg?v=1790883268","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-faceted-lattice-acrylic-sculpture-on-marble-170cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
