{"product_id":"cobalt-combed-torn-cradle-resin-sculpture-66cm","title":"Cobalt Combed Torn Cradle Resin Sculpture - 66cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large cradle of cobalt resin, one end rising high and the other a little over half as high. It is combed along the whole of its outer wall and over the inside of both ends, and both ends are torn away into standing points. Cobalt is strongest along the crests of the combing and clears through the hollow, so the piece is dark where it is ridged. A white slab is supplied and runs under most of the width of the cradle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRhythm Over a Long Distance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombing a wall this size is a decision about rhythm over a distance most pieces never have to cover. On a wall this size the combing has to keep its spacing through two changes of direction, and the eye finds a mistake in it from right across a room. Combing a wall this large without losing the curve is the whole difficulty, since every stroke has to turn with the wall as it climbs into the torn ends. The combing is polished in the grooves as well as on the crests, which is what keeps a piece this dark from going grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wants a sideboard to itself, with nothing else on the surface. A pale wall is essential here, because a cobalt piece against a dark one is an outline and nothing more. Light across the combing breaks into a run of bright lines, and it is the only thing that separates the crests from the hollow. The outline is what carries and the combing is not, which suits a piece meant to be walked past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCombing It Closer, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The combing is cut closer, the cobalt is lightened, and the slab is made in a darker tone instead. Comb it closer and the wall is left thicker to take the cuts, so the cradle gains weight as it gains detail. On request the torn ends are drawn out into longer points or trimmed back toward the rim. The cradle is always lifted by the base of its curve, never by either torn end, and the slab is carried flat. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cobalt cradle combed inside and out, its two ends torn into standing points, settles among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63 x 34 x 4.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCombed Cast Blue Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101064221019,"sku":"H349","price":2707.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H349.jpg?v=1791990937","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cobalt-combed-torn-cradle-resin-sculpture-66cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
