{"product_id":"clear-turned-ring-disc-on-marble-resin-sculpture-63cm","title":"Clear Turned Ring Disc on Marble Resin Sculpture - 63cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless disc of cast resin, with concentric rings turned into its face so that each steps back from the one outside it. Inside them sits a broad ring of white opaque material, and at the dead centre a single dark bead. It stands upright on a black marble base, which comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Opaque Ring Is What Stops the Eye\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRings cut into a transparent body do not read as rings. Each step is a curved face and each one bends what is behind it by a different amount, so what arrives at the eye is a set of displaced fragments of the room rather than a pattern of circles. Left at that the piece would be restless and slightly sickening to look at. The white ring is the answer and it is the only opaque thing in the object: it stops the light dead partway in, gives the eye a fixed edge to hold and turns everything outside it into a border rather than a disturbance. Without the white it would read as an error rather than as a design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole piece is a device for altering what is behind it, so it wants something there worth altering - a window, a run of room, a lit wall at some distance. Against a blank wall a hand away it has nothing to work on and goes flat. At 63cm it wants a console or a sideboard with the run to itself, and it must be met square: from the side the rings close and the bead disappears behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Rings, the Centre, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The ring count is cut deeper or fewer, the white band is drawn wider or left out entirely, and the bead is made in stone or steel instead. A tinted body is offered and changes the piece completely, since colour in the material competes with the displacement the rings are there to produce. The disc is also cast at other diameters on the same stone. It travels in one flat case standing on its edge as it stands in the room, the marble packed apart, and two people lift the disc by its rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRings turned into a face rather than drawn on it is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the still centre is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the clear body is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\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\u003e57cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\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 a White Inner Ring on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069524922715,"sku":"X004","price":4657.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X004.jpg?v=1790951708","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-turned-ring-disc-on-marble-resin-sculpture-63cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
