{"product_id":"cornflower-blue-fading-arch-wave-resin-sculpture-90cm","title":"Cornflower Blue Fading Arch Wave Resin Sculpture - 90cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCornflower blue gathers at the foot of this arch and thins on the way up, so the piece pales as it rises and darkens again as it comes back down. The blue is a deep cobalt in the foot and a soft periwinkle up the climbing band and over the crown, with streaks of the deeper tone running along its inner edge, while the fingers hanging from the crown are almost colourless. The arch is not a half circle: it leans as it climbs and the crown sits over one side rather than the middle. Those fingers hang down towards the sprays that rise from the foot, stopping short of them, so the ring is left open. The whole object is barely thicker than the stone it stands on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Colour Runs Out Where the Arch Is Thinnest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things change as this piece rises and they have to change together. The material thins, because an arch that stayed the same section all the way round would look like a pipe; and the blue fades, because the colour is carried in the body and there is less body to carry it. If the tint gave out early the crown would look bleached and the band would read as a stalk; here it thins to a pale periwinkle over the crown and gives out only in the hanging fingers, which keeps the lift that makes it an arch at all. Getting them to arrive together is the work, and it is checked against the light rather than in the hand, because a tint judged flat on a bench is not the tint anyone will see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing so shallow, it stands almost flat against whatever is behind it, and that wall is half of what you see. A plain wall does more for it than a handsome surface underneath, and a busy one takes the pale crown out altogether. Daylight from the side lifts the blue at the foot and leaves the crown as a line, which is the reading it is drawn for. Standing 90cm on its stone, it suits a console or a hall table, takes little run and almost no depth, and should stand clear of anything that would cross the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDepth of Tint, Width of Arch, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The colour runs out exactly where the arch is thinnest and furthest from the foot, so the two changes have to happen together. The blue is taken deeper or let go earlier, the arch is drawn wider, and a second tint is run from the foot instead. The lean of the arch is set at order as well, so a symmetrical version is made where a quieter piece suits the position. It ships upright with the stone boxed apart and the crown sleeved, and the arch is set on its stone where it stands. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaning as it climbs and paling towards an open crown, this cornflower blue arch sits with 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\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 x 13 x 8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Cornflower Blue Resin on Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54057135964507,"sku":"L144","price":2361.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L144.jpg?v=1791890081","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cornflower-blue-fading-arch-wave-resin-sculpture-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
