Overlapping, feather-like scales climb its left-hand edge, a shell of concentric ribs curves across its middle, and at the top it breaks into a crown of clear, pointed leaves that overlap like feathers and rise to two tips. The colour runs from a deep blue at the foot to almost colourless in the crown, and the leaves are thin enough to see one through another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Blade Rising into Clear Leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything in this piece climbs from narrow to open. At the foot it is a single blade, deep blue and close to the axis; above it the form widens through a shell of concentric ribs, each arc sitting inside the next, while overlapping scales step up the left-hand edge like feathers on a wing. The crown is the same idea taken to its end: clear leaves laid one over another, so that where two overlap the outline doubles and where one stands alone it all but disappears against the light. The colour follows the climb, deep and dense in the blade and clearing through the shell until the leaves at the top carry almost none.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 115cm overall it stands on the floor, its clear crown meeting the eye of anyone seated nearby, and it has one requirement: clear air above the leaves. The leaves rise to two points, and a low ceiling, a beam or a shelf close above them turns the gesture into an obstruction. A stair well, a double-height hall, a broad landing or a spot beside a tall window will all hold it. It reads from every side, the crown presenting a different outline from each, so it does not need a wall behind it. Light from above and in front is best: it passes through the clear leaves and throws their edges as lines onto whatever is behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Crown, the Foot and Lifting It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The spread of the crown, the height of the blade and the number of leaves are all matters for the order, so a version with a tight crown or one at gallery height can come from this design. Colour is agreed at order: this blue foot into a clear crown, an amber, a smoke grey, or a single colour throughout. It is handled at the foot of the blade and never by a leaf. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue blade breaking into clear feathered leaves, this crown of resin stands with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115cm overall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 30 x 10cm, part of the overall height\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":54024193245531,"sku":"C282","price":3398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C282.jpg?v=1792077433","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-ribbed-blade-and-crown-cast-resin-sculpture-115cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
