{"product_id":"clear-twisting-ribbon-resin-sculpture-158cm","title":"Clear Twisting Ribbon Resin Sculpture - 158cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA narrow ribbon of clear resin turning on itself as it climbs and opening at the top, carried on a tall black marble plinth. The ribbon is colourless, so its turns are read by their edges, each one a bright line against the stone or the wall behind it. The plinth comes with it and makes up far more of the height than the ribbon does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Ribbon Raised High on Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear resin leaves a twisting form nothing to hide behind: every turn shows its thickness, and the room behind bends through the ribbon as it climbs. The stack is the unusual part: the stone beneath stands well above the height of the casting on it, which puts the whole of the sculpture above eye level and makes the plinth as much of the silhouette as the ribbon is. A doubly curved clear body must be cast without a trace of cloud along its whole length, and every face is polished, the inside of the twist included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stairwell, a broad landing or a hall's far end, where the plinth can stand against a plain wall. A darker wall behind lets the clear ribbon read; against glazing it disappears. Side light runs along each turn of the twist and makes it bright. At a distance it is a dark column carrying a bright line, and the twist resolves as you approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Tint or a Low Block, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The twist is given another turn, a tint is carried through the ribbon, and a low marble block can take the place of the tall plinth where the piece is to stand on furniture. Plinth and casting arrive together and are stacked in that order, with the casting kept wrapped until nothing else needs moving. Two people in gloves, since bare hands mark clear resin and the mark shows. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA twisting ribbon raised high on black stone stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its tall, spare line suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the ribbon itself joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e65.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e27cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e21.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e35 x 35 x 92cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104273748315,"sku":"Z539","price":2294.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z539.jpg?v=1790877194","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-twisting-ribbon-resin-sculpture-158cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
