Amber in the standing block and cream in the slab laid across it, so the two are told apart by colour before they are told apart by angle. A plinth of marble and stainless steel comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Slabs Crossing at a Single Point\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo slabs crossing at a single point use very little material, which is why the crossing has to carry the whole argument. The plinth is not an accessory here. It carries more than half the overall height and it decides where the crossing sits relative to somebody standing in front of it, which is the only position from which the two colours can be read against one another. Two colours in one clear body means the crossing shows both at once, and the material there is the only place on the piece the eye cannot name a single tone. Polished on all faces, and the plinth is left with its own honed surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFloor work, and firmly so: the plinth carries most of the height and nothing on a table would suit it. A plain wall behind it. The plinth is pale enough that a dark ground would cut it off at the foot. Light from above is what this wants; a lamp at the foot lights the plinth and leaves the slabs flat. The balance carries the length of a room; the colour crossing waits until you are within a pace or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChanging the Crossing, and Two Crates\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The angle of the crossing can be opened, the two colours can be exchanged for one, and the plinth can be cut at another height. Cut the plinth at another height and the slabs are reproportioned to it, since the crossing has to sit near eye height to be read at all. Plinth and casting are crated separately and are brought together for the first time in the room they will stand in. Three people for the plinth. The casting is set on after the plinth is level. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlabs balanced over steel and stone lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the pair of tinted slabs belongs among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more to rise above eye level is in 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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 x 45 x 80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin in Cream and Amber on a Marble and Stainless Steel Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54112577651035,"sku":"Z394","price":6818.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z394.jpg?v=1790876438","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cream-and-amber-balanced-slabs-resin-sculpture-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
