{"product_id":"green-cut-sphere-on-tall-marble-plinth-resin-sculpture-167cm","title":"Green Cut Sphere on Tall Marble Plinth Resin Sculpture - 167cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA green ball carried on a tall black plinth that makes up most of its height. More of the object is stone than casting, since the column is the greater part of it. The hollows wind past each other and the green runs deep at the rims and clears across the open faces, which at this height are met straight on rather than looked down into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Plinth That Is More Than Half the Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the cut is carried at standing height, and the plinth is more than half the total. That changes what has to be got right. Carried this high the ball is met at eye level and read against the room rather than against a surface, so the scoops open onto whatever is beyond them and the plinth has to be doing nothing at all: it is black, square, unrelieved, and exactly as wide as the ball is deep, so it reads as a column of shadow and the green appears to be standing on nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is floor work and it needs the floor: a hall, a landing, the turn of a staircase, or a corner of a room with space to walk past it. At 167cm the ball meets the eye straight on, so the piece is read horizontally and wants a clear background at that height rather than a busy one. The plinth wants clear floor on the approach side, since the casting overhangs the stone slightly on two edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Plinth, the Green, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The plinth is built at other heights, the green is graded from the foot instead of the rim, and a stone one is made in place of the black. Other diameters are worked against the same support, which alters the proportion between the two parts more than any change of stone would. A frosted finish is offered and suits this arrangement, since a polish met at face level throws the room straight back at whoever is looking while a frosted surface keeps the colour. The two parts are crated separately and married up on delivery; moving the stone takes two people, and the casting drops onto a pin rather than being fixed down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ball opened into scoops above a black column belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; green resin clearing across the open faces leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a tall green accent at a 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\u003e64cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 x 55 x 103cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Green Resin on a Black 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":54070795239771,"sku":"X101","price":6547.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X101.jpg?v=1790953130","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-cut-sphere-on-tall-marble-plinth-resin-sculpture-167cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
