{"product_id":"clear-contour-drawn-twin-summit-resin-sculpture-52cm","title":"Clear Contour Drawn Twin Summit Resin Sculpture - 52cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo summits with white contour lines drawn across a frosted face and gold leaf capping both peaks. The lines run in closed loops around the slopes the way they do on a printed map. It is broad and deep for its height, and nothing is supplied underneath it. Gold sits only at the two tips, so the summits read first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Map Drawn Onto the Thing Itself\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eContour lines belong on a drawing of a mountain, not on a mountain, and putting them on the object itself is a deliberate confusion of the two. It only works if they behave: a contour is a line of constant height, so each one has to close on itself and none may cross another, and on a modelled surface that is a harder rule to keep than it sounds. Draw them freehand for effect and the eye reads decoration. Draw them properly and it reads as a map, which is the whole idea of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lines are white on a pale frosted ground, so they need light across them rather than through them. A lamp to one side or daylight from a window at an angle picks every one of them out; a downlighter directly overhead flattens them into the surface. A console or a deep shelf suits it better than a narrow ledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLine Weight, the Gold, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The contour lines follow constant heights and close on themselves, which is what makes them a map rather than a pattern. The line weight is drawn heavier or finer, the gold at the peaks is extended or left off, and a tint is run through the body. A version with no lines at all is made and is a plain frosted twin summit. It is packed in a lined case with nothing pressed against the drawn face, and it comes out by the base. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo gold-capped summits drawn like a map belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; white contours on frosted resin set them in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and lines picked out by angled daylight suit 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\u003e52cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Clear Cast Resin with Gold Leaf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54067457818971,"sku":"S155","price":2902.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S155.jpg?v=1790850765","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-contour-drawn-twin-summit-resin-sculpture-52cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
