{"product_id":"deep-red-standing-wave-ribbon-resin-sculpture-93cm","title":"Deep Red Standing Wave Ribbon Resin Sculpture - 93cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ribbon is flat in section and stands on its edge, so the form is entirely a matter of profile. Four S-curves run along its length, and both ends rise steeply: the left one curls back over at its tip, while the right one stands straight up to a square-cut end. The red holds at one strength the whole way along, with no grade in it at all. No base is included, and the ribbon holds itself up on the three troughs that reach the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Curves and No Direction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flat ribbon standing on its edge has almost no depth, so everything depends on the curve profile being cut cleanly. Four S-curves is the count that gives a run of this length a rhythm without turning it into a pattern: three reads as a shape and six reads as corrugation. The single deep red is chosen for the same reason. A graded tint would mark one end as the beginning and give the piece a direction, and this one is built to be read from either end and from both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sideboard or a long console suits it, and it must have space on both sides rather than depth. A plain wall behind is what the piece needs most, because the silhouette is the object and a busy background cuts it to pieces. The troughs meet the surface at three points and want a level run. Standing a flat ribbon on its edge makes the silhouette the whole object: from directly in front it is a drawn line, and a step to either side turns it into a solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCurve Counts, the Red and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. The curve count is set to three or five instead of four, the red is graded toward the ends, and the ribbon is drawn wider. The ribbon is cast at other lengths, and the number of curves is set to the run instead of fixed at four. Three curves make a calmer run and five a busier one, both at the same length. Where the flat red is too solid the colour is graded out toward the two ends, which gives the piece the direction it deliberately lacks here. A long crate takes it lying on its side with both raised ends wrapped, and two people raise it onto the surface. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbon forms are \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the red is held right through \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a silhouette this thin is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e work against a plain wall.\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\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Deep Red Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54077559931227,"sku":"H288","price":2361.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H288.jpg?v=1791981925","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/deep-red-standing-wave-ribbon-resin-sculpture-93cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
