{"product_id":"clear-eight-faced-prism-resin-sculpture-68cm","title":"Clear Eight-Faced Prism Resin Sculpture - 68cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe prism tapers from a wide crown to a narrow foot, cut to eight faces that meet in sharp arrises. Colourless from the crown to the foot, with each face returning its own light and no pigment anywhere. The crown is cut flat across all eight sides, and the arrises run straight down from it. A shallow round base is supplied beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEight Faces and Eight Different Answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery face on this piece is at a different angle to every source in the room, so no two of them return the same thing at the same moment. That is the whole of the design and it is why the arrises are left sharp: a softened edge would let two faces bleed into one another and the count would go. Eight faces on a tapering body means eight different angles for the light to arrive at, and an uncoloured casting is what lets each of them read separately instead of blending. Polished on every face and around the crown, with the arrises left sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA desk or a bookshelf will take it, somewhere it can be turned. Something dark behind it, since a colourless prism against a pale wall keeps almost no edge. One source off to the side lights three faces and leaves the rest; flat light returns the whole of it evenly and says less. The taper carries at a distance and the separate faces sort themselves out close to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAnother Count of Faces, and One Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. Say the word and the faces are counted differently, a tint goes through the body, or the prism is made at another height. Change the count of faces and the taper is redrawn, because the arrises have to meet the crown together. One crate, and the base travels beneath the prism. Two people at the crate, hands at the base and not the arrises. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless prism cut to eight faces stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its sharp, straight arrises belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the clear body taking light at every face joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 x 32 x 2.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Cut to Eight Faces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54161182687579,"sku":"Z687","price":7222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z687.jpg?v=1790877664","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-eight-faced-prism-resin-sculpture-68cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
