The opening takes up the upper half of the piece and a little more, leaving a band that is broad and solid at the foot and thin over the top. Flutes radiate out from the opening across the front face and notch its inner edge, while the outer edge runs round in one smooth curve. Deep blue gathers at the foot, the fluted face clears to a frosted white down both sides, and the crown is a pale blue. The marble block is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlutes That Radiate From the Opening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbing the inside of a ring and leaving the outside plain is what makes the opening the subject. The flutes catch light at their crests and hold shadow between them, so the inner edge is drawn as a broken line while the outer edge stays a single clean curve. Read together, the two edges tell you how thick the band is at every point round the arch, which a plain ring of this section never does. The colour is set to agree: deepest where the band is broadest at the foot, clearing where it thins over the top, so the grade and the section describe the same thing twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 61cm with its block it sits on a shelf or a console, and the aperture wants a background with some depth in it rather than a flat surface. Light from behind is what the flutes are cut for and a downlight does almost nothing for them. It stands steady on its block, though it is best kept out of reach of anything that could knock it. The flutes radiate from the opening, so the ring appears to widen from the inside out, and the pale crown makes the arch present as thinner than the material at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Arch, the Blue, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The flutes are cut finer, the blue is graded from the crown instead of from the foot, and the ring is drawn to a rounder opening. Height is specified at the order and the flute count follows it instead of staying where it is. The opening is drawn rounder or narrower on request, and a narrower one changes the piece from an arch into a loop. The ring can also be cast colourless, with the flutes alone to carry it, where the blue is too strong for the room. It travels in one box with the arch supported, and it is lifted by the marble, never by the thin crown of the arch. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding a ring on end is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the radiating flutes are cut into \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and an opening you can see the wall through 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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54077225042267,"sku":"H420","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H420.jpg?v=1791997014","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-fluted-upright-ring-arch-resin-sculpture-61cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
