{"product_id":"green-wound-spiral-on-marble-resin-sculpture-45cm","title":"Green Wound Spiral on Marble Resin Sculpture - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA green resin form drawn as one continuous sheet, winding from a narrow point out into a broad hood. The sheet begins heavy at the point and loses section as it opens, so the green is deepest at the foot and clears toward the opening. Beneath is a slab of black marble, which comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Sheet, Wound Rather Than Assembled\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wound form has one problem that a cut form does not: it has to read as continuous. The eye is quick to find a join, and if the sheet appears to stop and start the piece becomes two objects leaning together. What holds it is the section. The sheet is drawn thick at the point and thinned steadily as it winds out into the hood, so the material itself tells the eye which way the movement runs, and it runs one way only. A sheet of constant thickness wound the same way reads as a strip of ribbon, which is a different and much weaker object. The green does the second half of the work. Because the section changes, the colour changes with it, and the deepest green sits at the point where the material is heaviest. That puts the visual weight at the bottom of the spiral and lets the hood open without appearing to topple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hood is the point of it, so it wants to be seen into rather than at: a low table, a broad shelf below eye level, anywhere the opening can be seen into from above rather than edge on. Set high the hood closes to a line and the piece becomes a green curve with nothing inside it. At 45cm on its stone it suits being given its own space rather than a group, because the winding needs an uninterrupted background to be followed round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Winding, the Green, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. The hood is drawn wider or wound tighter, the green is run to a blue, and the point is brought further out. The sheet is drawn at other spans on this stone, and a frosted finish is offered which suits the wound form better than it suits the cut ones, since frosting shows a changing section more clearly than a polish does. The stone is made in other thicknesses where the balance wants adjusting. It travels as two items in one crate, the casting bedded on its outer curve rather than on the point, which is the thinnest section and the part that would take a knock first. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sheet wound from a point is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the green runs through the material as \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the hood needs \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e placing to be read into.\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\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 20 x 5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Green Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070796321115,"sku":"X092","price":2294.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X092.jpg?v=1790953125","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-wound-spiral-on-marble-resin-sculpture-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
