The ring is untinted the whole way round, so what colour there is comes from the gold beneath being carried up into the material at the foot. The disc shows the piece back in itself, which doubles the curve of the ring for anyone looking at it from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStanding on a Disc No Wider Than Its Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide form on a narrow foot is decided at the contact and nowhere else. The ring is wide and the disc under it is barely more than the width of the resin where the two meet, so there is no margin for the two faces to be anything other than flat against each other. A hair of daylight between them would run right round the joint and be visible from every side, because the material above it is clear and hides nothing. The disc has a second job beyond holding the piece up: its polished gold tone puts a warm reflection into the foot of a colourless object, which is the only colour anywhere on it. Change the metal and the whole reading of the piece changes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe disc is part of the view, so it needs a surface that does not swallow it, and a dark wood top does. Gold on walnut or on a black stone reads as a shadow and the ring appears to float on nothing; on a pale surface it reads as gold and the piece gains its one warm note. A light-toned stone, a painted top or a glass shelf all do that. At 67cm it sits on a cabinet or a broad shelf rather than on the floor, best placed where the disc is seen at an angle and not edge on. A light from above brings the reflection up through the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResin Meeting Metal on a Narrow Contact, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The ring meets the disc across a foot nearly as broad as the disc itself, and everything about this piece standing straight depends on that contact. The disc comes in this gold tone, in bright silver or in black. The ring is drawn to any height on the same disc, and a tint can be run into the foot where the metal is picked up. It arrives in one foam-lined case with the ring faced and the disc packed flat beneath it, and the two are put together on site: the disc is set down and levelled, then the ring is lowered onto it and held around the body rather than at the top. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear water coming round almost to a ring above a polished gold-toned disc belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 30 x 2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin on a Gold-Toned Stainless Steel Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54026330931547,"sku":"L321","price":2582.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L321.jpg?v=1791906826","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-splash-ring-on-gold-disc-resin-sculpture-67cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
