{"product_id":"green-cut-sphere-on-a-white-marble-plinth-resin-sculpture-132cm","title":"Green Cut Sphere on a White Marble Plinth Resin Sculpture - 132cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA green ball opened into two turning scoops, lifted on a plinth of white marble that comes with it. The ball and the plinth beneath it divide the height between them almost evenly. The marble is heavily veined in grey and brown, and the green of the ball is deep enough at the rims to hold its own against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Pale Stone Under a Dark Casting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is carried on white marble, and the stone is not a neutral choice. Against a pale plinth the underside of the ball comes up a soft green with nothing visible to account for it, and the scoop that faces down stops being the dark part of the object. On a black plinth of the same height it stays dark and the piece reads as a shape on a column. They are different objects across a room, and the stone is chosen for that rather than to match a floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 132cm it needs floor and room to approach: an entrance, a half-landing, or the far end of a room where it reads from a distance. Its plinth should stand on something firm and flat rather than on a rug. Because the stone is figured rather than plain, the piece works better against a quiet wall than a papered one, and it should be lit from above or from one side so the veining reads as surface rather than as shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone, the Green, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. The plinth is cut at other heights and in other stones, and the green is taken toward teal. Other diameters are worked on this column, which alters the balance between casting and stone more than the height does. A frosted body is offered and suits a pale plinth, since a polished green at this height returns the room and a frosted one keeps the colour. Plinth and casting travel as two crated items and are put together in the room; the marble needs two people, and the ball seats onto the top of the column rather than being fixed to it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA green ball turning on a pale plinth belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; green held densest at its outer edges leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a figured stone column for a half-landing joins 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 35 x 87cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Green Resin on a White Marble Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070795796827,"sku":"X199","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X199.jpg?v=1790956348","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-cut-sphere-on-a-white-marble-plinth-resin-sculpture-132cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
