It stands at the centre on a long stainless steel base, polished along its sides, its black top inlaid with fine gold-toned lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Crescent Built From Clear Layers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding a curve from flat layers means every edge is a step, and the steps are the beauty of it: seen from a distance the crescent is a smooth sweep, but close to it is made of many fine terraces, each catching light along its cut edge. The layers are aligned so that the stepping runs evenly from the centre to both tips, and the two points are set at very different heights, one climbing well clear of the other, which keeps the crescent from being mechanical. The polished steel base is long and slim, a line under the curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits a gallery, a reception, an office or a large living room, on a wide console or a platform, or on the floor, where it is seen from the front. Give it a dark ground, since against black or charcoal each layered edge shines as a line of light. Light it from above and slightly to one side so every step catches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLayers, Colour and Setting It Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. Tinted layers are possible, blue, amber or smoke, as is a gradation from clear into colour, and so is a longer or more compact crescent. A graded tint makes it read like a sunset horizon, and a smoke tint gives a darker, more graphic line. The base can also be finished in black. Set the base level first, then stand the crescent on its centre, taking it by the body and never by either point. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crescent of stepped clear layers on a long steel base, it belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric 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\u003e97cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e129 x 43 x 5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLayered Clear Acrylic on a Stainless Steel Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209171292507,"sku":"C200","price":16959.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C200.jpg?v=1792069717","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-layered-crescent-acrylic-sculpture-on-steel-180cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
