{"product_id":"blue-rayed-disc-resin-sculpture-101cm","title":"Blue Rayed Disc Resin Sculpture - 101cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA roughly circular slab pierced away from its middle, the face worked into rays that run from the opening out to a rippled edge. Blue right through the disc, deepest round the opening and paling toward the rippled rim. A broad black marble base comes with it, wider than the disc is deep, so the ring stands steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Opening Set Off Centre\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting the opening off centre is what makes the rays readable: from the middle they would be a wheel, and from one side they run long on one edge and short on the other. The rim is left rippled for the same reason: a circle cut true would turn the whole face into a diagram of itself. The body is why one blue gives a full range of tone: worked in rays, it changes thickness the whole way round. Worked into rays across both faces and left with that texture, the rim rippled rather than cut true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits a console or a long sideboard, set where the opening is level with the eye. Give it a pale ground. A blue disc on a dark wall loses the opening that makes it a ring. Light from behind puts the whole disc into a ring and the rays into relief, which is the one position that shows both. It reads as a ring from the door and as a worked surface from within arm's reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMoving the Opening, and Two Parts Joined on Site\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. We will set the opening elsewhere on the face, change the blue, or cut the base to another plan. Move the opening off centre further and the rays are redrawn to it, because they run from the opening out rather than from the middle. Disc and base are crated together and are joined only once they are in the room. Two people, hands on the rim at either side, and it is set down onto the base rather than slid. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA disc worked in rays round an opening leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the blue rayed casting belongs among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and it frames a view through its opening among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\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\u003e95cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 x 50 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54145952645467,"sku":"Z512","price":4657.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z512.jpg?v=1790877184","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-rayed-disc-resin-sculpture-101cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
