The curl is a single turning surface with a wide opening on one side, copper-toned on the outer face and lighter within, and the stem holds it clear of the stone by about a hand’s width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Small Form Put at Standing Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small form on a tall plinth is a deliberate imbalance, and it works because of what sits between them. A curl set straight onto a column would look like a lid; the slim stem holds it clear of the stone by a hand's width and the gap is what makes the form appear to float rather than to rest. The stem is drawn narrow for the same reason - anything thicker would read as a neck and the two parts would become one object. Putting the curl at this height also changes how it is read. At table height a curl is looked into and the interior is the subject; carried this high it is met edge on, so what the viewer gets is the outline against the wall and the copper tone along the outside, which is why the colour is strongest on the outer face rather than within the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is floor work. The plinth wants flat ground under it and space to walk up to, and works in an entrance, on a stair turn or in a corner seen from across a room. At 132cm the curl sits below eye level for most people, so the opening is partly in view and the piece is read at an angle rather than square on. A quiet wall behind does more for the outline than a patterned one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Plinth, the Curl, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The plinth is made at other heights, the copper is taken toward gold, and the curl is drawn further open. The stem is also drawn at other lengths, which alters the gap between casting and stone that the whole arrangement depends on. The curl is made at other spans on this column. A frosted body is offered and reads well at this height, since a polished surface above the head returns ceiling light. Three crates arrive and it is built up on site: the plinth wants two people, the stem drops into its top, and the curl sits onto the stem. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curl lifted clear of its column belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; copper resin lighter within leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a tall piece for a quiet corner of an entrance joins 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 x 22 x 2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x 40 x 80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Copper Tone Resin on a Black Marble Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070798188891,"sku":"X224","price":3978.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X224.jpg?v=1790957274","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/copper-tone-curl-on-a-marble-plinth-resin-sculpture-132cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
