Its whole surface is made of close ridges that sweep round the spiral from the heart outward, and at the rim they break into scalloped points like the edge of a wave. It is colourless throughout, and every ridge catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRidges Sweeping Round a Deep Spiral\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spiral is the most natural form there is, in shells, in water, in weather, and the challenge is to make one that reads clearly in a material with no colour. The answer is the ridges. They run in unbroken lines round the whorl, close together at the heart and spreading as they come out, so the spiral is drawn by them from every side. At the rim they are allowed to break into points, which stops the edge reading as a cut and gives it the movement of water. Clear resin lets a large form sit lightly in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 100cm it suits a floor position in a living room, a hall or a reception, or a broad table in a large room, somewhere it can be looked down into, since the spiral reads best from above. Put it against a plain dark ground or near a window, and let light fall across the ridges from one side. From the doorway it is a single swirling form; closer, the ridges and the scallops become the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTint, Size and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is standard or bespoke sets the build: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. A tint can be added, blue, amber or a smoky grey, rising from the heart and clearing at the rim, and the whorl can be made to another size or with its rim left plain. A tint at the heart deepens the spiral and makes its centre the first thing seen. It is delivered in a single crate, braced inside, and it takes two people with a trolley to carry it in and place it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spiral turning in on itself belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; colourless ridges catching the light lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a strong clear whorl for a reception joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e96.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54208487326043,"sku":"X129","price":12558.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X129.jpg?v=1790954908","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-ridged-spiral-whorl-resin-sculpture-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
