A thin fin reaches out to one side at about mid-height. The largest opening is cut through the pale crown, and the blue body below it is pierced again and again, from small rounds at the waist to a long opening above the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Crown Left Clear Above a Blue Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe graduation and the piercing work against each other. The crown is broad and colourless, and the largest opening is cut right through it, so it reads as clear glass framing a window; the body below is dark and full of holes, so it reads as a mass with daylight showing through it. The change between them is continuous with no line anywhere in it. The side fin is the thinnest passage on the sculpture and it is left pale, which makes it read as separate from the body it grows out of, and a second, spiked fin breaks the outline low on the same side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 83cm overall it stands well on a console, a sideboard or in a hall, and its narrow footprint means it takes very little of any surface. It rewards being lit from below or behind, because the clear crown and the dark foot then read as two different materials. It wants a plain wall and no clutter beside it, and the fin should point into the room rather than at the wall. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Graduation Starts and Stops\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The height at which the colour begins is specified at order and it changes the piece considerably. Low, and the sculpture is a clear form with a coloured foot; high, as here, and the blue occupies two thirds of it and the clear crown becomes the incident. It cannot be adjusted afterwards. Depth of colour is set separately, from a pale wash to the near-black used here, and other tints are offered from the studio range. The base is available in an alternative stone, and a deeper base can be specified where the piece is going onto a low surface. On handling: the side fin and the narrow sections around the smallest openings are where this piece is fragile, so it is packed in shaped foam with the base boxed apart from it, and it is lifted with a hand under the crown and one around the foot, never by the fin. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pierced fin that darkens from clear to navy sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a crown cut through by its largest opening joins it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and blue deepening almost to black at the foot suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e77cm\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\u003e15cm\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 Resin with Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956667703643,"sku":"T011","price":2024.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T011.jpg?v=1790856365","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-graduated-pierced-fin-resin-sculpture-83cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
