{"product_id":"clear-smoke-ink-knotted-loop-resin-sculpture-66cm","title":"Clear Smoke Ink Knotted Loop Resin Sculpture - 66cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoke-dark ink is drawn through this clear knotted loop, darkest along the lobed edges and at the foot and thinning to clear across the broad faces. The ribbon folds back through itself, leaving openings through the body, so the ink outlines each one. Black marble carries its foot and is part of the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmoke Ink Along the Edges of a Knot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInk gives a clear knot the outline that clear material cannot give itself. Where the ribbon turns, the ink collects into dark seams, so every fold of the knot reads as a drawn line; across the broad faces it thins until the resin is almost clear. The effect is a sculpture that reads like a brush drawing from across a room and like glass close to. No two castings carry the ink the same way, and the darkest seam always falls somewhere different on the loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding 66cm with its base, it belongs on a console against a pale wall, which is what the dark seams need to read. A window to one side gives the clear faces some life; a dark wall behind loses the ink altogether. The base is small, so it needs little room, but leave space behind it for the openings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInk Density, the Base, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pieces take 3–4 weeks and bespoke commissions 5–6. The ink can be run heavier until the knot reads almost black, or lighter so that only the seams are drawn, and it can be taken toward brown or blue. A paler stone can be cut for the base if black is too strong for the room. It is packed in a foam shell fitted to the knot, base boxed alongside, and it comes out held round the body rather than by an opening. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear knot drawn in smoke-dark ink belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; seams of ink following every fold join it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and ink held in a clear casting like a brush line suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with Smoke Ink and Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54228213137755,"sku":"T005-3","price":2024.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T005__3.jpg?v=1790856325","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-smoke-ink-knotted-loop-resin-sculpture-66cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
