Two summits rise from it, the right-hand one well above the left, with a low saddle between them that lifts into a small hump of its own, and each fin stops at its own height, so the ridge line is read off their tips. The fins are a pale translucent blue, and where one is seen through another the colour doubles and the range gains a second, softer set of edges behind the first. The marble beneath runs out past the range at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Section Where a Layer Would Give a Contour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurning the layers on end changes what each one tells you. A horizontal layer is a contour, a line of constant height, and a stack of them describes a landform from the outside. A vertical fin is a SECTION, a cut straight through the mass, and a row of them describes the same landform from the inside. That is why a saddle sits so naturally between its two summits: a section can fall away in the middle and come back, whereas a contour has to close on itself. The consequence is that the shaping is all in the fin depths, and neighbouring fins step by so little that the fall from each summit reads as smooth. The pale tint is deliberate. Fins at this spacing overlap when seen at an angle, and a strong colour would stack up into an opaque mass; a light one lets each fin add a little and the depth stays legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong and low on its slab, this is work for the top of a long piece of furniture. It is best seen square on and from a little above, where the fin tips read as a ridge and the overlaps behind them build the depth: a console table, a sideboard or a long, broad shelf. It wants a plain field behind it, since the fins are translucent and a busy wall reads straight through them. Light from behind or from one side edge-lights every fin and the range separates into its own layers; a light square in front of it merges them into a single pale block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFins, the Slab and Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. Fin spacing, the depths and the landform itself are all drawn per piece, so a version with one summit and a long fall, a range reaching much further across a console, or a piece with the fins set wide apart for a more skeletal reading are all from this design. The tint is settled at order: this pale blue, a green, a smoke grey, or clear throughout so the piece is only edges and overlaps. The range is lifted by its own foot, never by an individual fin. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landform read off the tips of its fins is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the fins are \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the translucence that does all the work belongs to \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\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 x 45 x 5cm\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":54024194228571,"sku":"C309","price":3126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C309.jpg?v=1792160607","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-finned-mountain-range-cast-resin-sculpture-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
