Green runs through the middle of it with amber standing behind, and there are small red flashes where three interior planes meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Interior Cut as Well as an Outside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe film is carried on those internal planes as well as on the outside, and that is the whole difference between this and a cut solid. A gem worked only on its surface returns colour at the face and clear material behind it; give the interior its own planes and each one returns a colour of its own from a different angle, so the body reads as fractured ice rather than as a block with a coloured skin. The cost of it is order. Every interior face has to be cut and filmed before the outer shell is closed over it, because once the outside is on there is no way back in, and a plane set at the wrong angle inside is permanent. Nothing about the outside can be adjusted afterwards to compensate either, so the interior is set out first and the shell is worked to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm it is met close and from more than one side, which puts it within reach: on the desk itself, on a cabinet top, or at the near end of a console where somebody passes it. The interior is the reason. From a single fixed angle it reads as a coloured block; move a pace and the interior faces come and go. It needs light that gets INTO it rather than onto it, so daylight arriving from one side, or a lamp placed off the axis, is what it wants, and a downlight straight above is not: overhead light fills the top planes and the interior goes dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSequence, Film and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The interior sequence is what paces the build here, since nothing inside can be reached once the shell is closed. Facet layout, proportion and the film are drawn per commission, so a version with the interior cut deeper, one worked to a squarer profile, or a set of three at graded heights all come from this design. The film is chosen at order from this green-and-amber, a blue-to-violet, or a warm gold-to-rose. A version cut only on the outside is also made, which is a quieter object and quicker to make. It needs no assembly: set it down and turn it until the interior opens up. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn interior of cut planes as well as an outer shell puts this in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the film that colours them belongs to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and it keeps that colour indoors, which is where \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e lives.\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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024447066459,"sku":"C035","price":2238.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C035.jpg?v=1792007474","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-and-amber-fractured-ice-gem-acrylic-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
