{"product_id":"clear-fin-curtain-and-layered-timber-acrylic-sculpture-370cm","title":"Clear Fin Curtain \u0026 Layered Timber Acrylic Sculpture - 370cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA long curtain of clear acrylic fins holds a form of pale, honey-coloured timber within it. Each fin is a narrow strip that rises on one side, rounds over the top and comes down the other, and side by side they make a clear screen with a gently waving top edge. The timber inside is built from thin layers whose edges ripple like contour lines, gathered into a rounded loaf with the grain showing at its end, and it sits clear of the long black metal bar that runs through the curtain at its foot and out beyond it at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClear Fins Round Layered Timber\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece sets two materials against each other. The fins are clear and regular, every strip the same width at the same spacing, so they read as a screen of fine lines that holds still; the timber inside is warm and irregular, its layers stepping in and out so the form seems to ripple. Seen through the fins, the timber breaks into vertical bands, and as you walk along the curtain the bands shift, so the form inside appears to move while the screen in front of it does not. The black bar under it all is the one plain, straight line in the piece, and it carries the eye along the whole length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a floor piece on an architectural scale: its bar runs well past the curtain at both ends, so it asks for open floor along its whole length, the kind a lobby or a gallery gives, where it can be walked along from end to end. Seen from the side, the timber reads through the fins; seen from an end, the fins close up into a denser screen, so a place that lets people pass along its length shows it best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScale, Timber and Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. The length of the curtain, the number of fins and the form of the timber are drawn per commission, so the same idea can be made to fill another length of wall, with the timber's rippling layers drawn to a new outline. The bar's black can be changed for another colour that suits the floor. When it is moved, the fins are taken by their feet and never by the rounded top, the timber is lifted from beneath, and the bar is carried at both ends. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA layered timber form inside a curtain of clear fins, it joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e110cm overall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e155cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e370 x 50 x 26cm, part of the overall height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Acrylic Fins and Layered Timber on a Metal Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371496165723,"sku":"C172","price":40718.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C172.jpg?v=1792089324","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-fin-curtain-and-layered-timber-acrylic-sculpture-370cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
