{"product_id":"clear-violin-resin-sculpture-85cm","title":"Clear Violin Resin Sculpture - 85cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA violin at rather more than full size, with the body, the ribs, the pegbox and the scroll all drawn in full. Colourless through the body with brown ink drifting through the belly and the ribs. Nothing is supplied under it: the piece stands on its own tail and is cut flat there for the purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Instrument With No Wood in It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything a violin normally says, it says with wood: the grain, the varnish, the colour of the belly against the ribs. None of that is available here, so the instrument has to be delivered by outline and cutting alone, which is why the scroll and the f-holes are taken so much deeper than the object strictly needs. A violin in a clear body has no wood to speak with, so the whole instrument has to be got across by outline and by the ink standing in for grain - which is why the scroll and the f-holes are cut as sharply as they are. Polished over the belly and the back, with the scroll and the pegbox left crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA study shelf or the top of an upright suits it, set square to the room as the instrument itself would be. Stand it against something pale, so the ink reads as figure and the outline reads as an instrument. Light onto the front and a little above makes the f-holes legible; from behind they become gaps. The outline is recognised instantly from anywhere in a room, and the ink is the reason to come and look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTaking the Ink Out, and One Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. The ink can be taken out for a clear instrument, it can be run in another colour, and the piece is made at other sizes. Take the ink out and the instrument becomes a drawing in air, so the cutting is deepened to carry a form that has nothing else left. One crate, standing, and nothing to be done to it on site. One person, both hands, and the scroll is not where to take hold of it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear violin with brown ink in its belly stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; an instrument drawn without wood belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the ink held in the resin joins it to 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\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin with Ink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54113486012763,"sku":"Z650","price":2564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z650.jpg?v=1790779315","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-violin-resin-sculpture-85cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
