A tall summit rises at the centre with a second, well short of it, on a lobe to one side; both are repeated upside down beneath the waterline, and the far side of the range runs out to a single point, so the outline throws points up, down and to either side. It is built from clear acrylic strips stacked one on another, each stepping out or back from the last to make the profile, and it is colourless throughout. The main reflection narrows to the point it stands on, on a tall block of black marble, which is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Mountain Stood on Its Own Reflection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mountain stood on its own reflection has to be resolved at the waterline, where the strips are longest and the form is broadest. Everything else steps away from there, so the summits and their reflected points taper by losing strips rather than by being cut, and the second summit answers the first from its lobe at the side. Because nothing in it is tinted, the whole piece depends on its edges: each strip returns a line of light, and the points go pale where the strips thin out. On the black base the clear body has something dark to be read against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 168cm overall, standing on its black block, its summit is met just above eye level, so this is floor work for a hall, a stair foot or the end of a long room, somewhere it can be approached from the front and walked around. A dark wall behind it gives the stepped edges something to catch against. Side light is what it wants: from one side every step throws a highlight, from the front the strips merge. At a distance the outline of summits and points is what carries, and the layering is a discovery made at close quarters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Profile and Moving a Tall Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. Three decisions are yours at the order. The points can be drawn out further or kept close to the summits, the strips nearest the base can take a tint, and a different stone can be chosen for the base. Draw the points out and the band at the waterline is drawn longer with them, so the outline keeps its balance. The body is set on to its base standing, held by that band and never by a summit or a point. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt shares its stacked construction with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, its sharp outline with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and its mountain with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e168cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e151cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLayered Clear Acrylic on a Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54208183435611,"sku":"C020","price":21072.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C020.jpg?v=1792004502","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-twin-peak-mountain-layered-acrylic-sculpture-168cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
