Deep blue holds the crests of the twist and pales through every turn of the band. Nothing is supplied under this one; the band touches down at two points of its own twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRead by Shading Alone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeft matt and deep, the twist is read by shading alone, which is a slower thing to look at and a steadier one. A twist that passes through itself has an inside face nobody ever sees square on, and the matt surface is what keeps that face reading as part of the same band rather than as a separate dark shape. The colour helps: the blue gathers along the crests and the edges and thins across the broad faces, so each turn shows as a change of depth. Nothing on it reflects, so no highlight breaks the line of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wants a low table where the twist can be looked into from above. Give it a quiet ground. A twist reads by its edges, and edges need something to read against. Matt and deep blue, it wants light close and to one side, or the twist goes flat. From away it is a blue knot; the fact that the band passes through itself takes a nearer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAnother Turn, and How It Travels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBespoke commissions take 5–6 weeks; standard pieces take 3–4. The twist is given another turn, the matt surface is polished, and the blue is moved toward violet. Add a turn and the band lengthens, so the piece settles wider on the surface. Polished, the deep blue turns glassy and the crossing can be seen through. A single crate carries it; it goes straight onto the surface and is taken up by the outer band rather than through the middle. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA matt blue band laid down with one twist through its middle belongs 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\u003e37cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52cm\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatt 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":54099915768155,"sku":"H415","price":2158.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H415.jpg?v=1791996589","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/deep-blue-matt-twisted-band-resin-sculpture-52cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
