{"product_id":"blue-ring-and-branching-arm-cast-resin-sculpture-76cm","title":"Blue Ring \u0026 Branching Arm Cast Resin Sculpture - 76cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue ring sits low on this cast resin sculpture and a branching arm climbs away from it, running colourless as it goes. The ring is not quite closed: its water comes over the top and stops short, the tip hanging down inside the opening, and the blue lies deepest in its lower half, swirled through the clear like ink in water. The branch above divides twice and is clear by the time it does, and the piece comes with the black marble block it is set on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeavy Under Fine, and No Line Between\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring at the foot is the heaviest material on the piece and the branch above is the lightest, and the two run into one another with nothing marking the change. That is the difficulty: the eye looks for a join where a form changes character that completely, and if it finds anything at all, whether a step in the section, a line in the colour or a change in finish, the piece reads as two things fixed together. Here the form narrows steadily from ring to branch and the blue lets go across the same stretch, so neither change has an edge for the eye to catch on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring reads from the front and the branch from the side, so a corner position loses one of the two. Set square to a wall, the ring shows as a circle and the branch flattens against the plaster; set at an angle with space on both sides, both are legible. A console approached from two directions is the best of it. At 76cm with its stone it fits a narrow surface, since it is far shallower from front to back than it is broad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Heavier Branch, a Closed Ring, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. The ring is heavy and nearly closed and the branch above it is open and fine, and nothing on the piece marks where one becomes the other. The branch is drawn heavier, the blue is carried into it, and the curl is brought round to close the ring. Carrying the blue up into the branch makes a single-colour piece and loses the contrast the design rests on. It comes upright in one braced case with the marble packed separately and the branch sleeved, and the ring is bedded onto its stone on arrival. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavy under fine, with no join between, is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the blue is held by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a branch read from the side belongs in \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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 25 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54057373008219,"sku":"L326","price":2102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L326.jpg?v=1791906839","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-ring-and-branching-arm-cast-resin-sculpture-76cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
