{"product_id":"deep-blue-pierced-folded-form-resin-sculpture-120cm","title":"Deep Blue Pierced Folded Form Resin Sculpture - 120cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA body rising from a spread foot and folding over on itself near the top, with a single opening worked right through the fold where the two surfaces come closest. Deep blue banks at the foot and clears through the fold, so the top of the piece is nearly colourless. Every surface is polished, so the blue reads deep in the thick of the body and almost clear at its thin edges. Its foot is attached to a round blue disc, which comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Opening Where the Body Is Thickest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery opening cut through a solid makes what remains work harder, and past a certain point the object stops being a mass with a hole and becomes a frame round one. Putting the opening where the body has most material is the opposite of the obvious choice, and it is what makes the fold read as something bent rather than something built. An opening worked through the thickest part of a body leaves very little either side of it, and both sides carry everything above. Polished over the whole surface, and the inside of the opening takes as long as the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sideboard, a console or the end of a long room, seen from the side the opening faces. A pale ground behind it, since everything above the fold is clear enough to show what is there. Light that goes in at the opening leaves somewhere unexpected, which is the reason to site it within reach. The fold reads as one shape from the door and the opening in it only appears at about three paces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWidening the Opening, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The opening is drawn wider, the blue is taken higher up the body, or the fold is turned to face the other way. Widen the opening and the fold above has to be thickened, since the material either side is carrying it. A single piece, crated with the foot bedded and the fold packed clear of everything. Two people, both hands under the disc and nothing through the opening. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue body folding over one opening leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the blue thinning out through the fold ties it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a pale wall behind it shows the opening best among 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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72.8cm\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\u003eBlue Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin, Deep Blue Clearing Upward, on a Blue Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104276009307,"sku":"Z598","price":3847.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z598.jpg?v=1790877218","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/deep-blue-pierced-folded-form-resin-sculpture-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
