{"product_id":"grey-draped-twist-resin-sculpture-58cm","title":"Grey Draped Twist Resin Sculpture - 58cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing is pierced through the Grey Draped Twist Resin Sculpture, so it is read wholly from its surface; the black marble under it is part of the piece. A wide flaring skirt gathers at the top into folds and falls to a narrow twisted stem at the bottom, and the colour runs from colourless at the crown to a dark, almost black grey where the stem meets the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Draped Skirt Above a Twisted Stem\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pierced rock is read through its holes; this one is read entirely off its surface, which makes it a different kind of object. The skirt is folded in on itself several times, so the sculpture holds deep shadows in the hollows and bright highlights on the ridges between them, and the shadows are what give it depth instead of the light coming through. The stem is a quarter-turn twist and it is the narrowest passage on the piece, only a few centimetres across, which is why the flare above it reads as suspended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 58cm overall on its small base it belongs on a desk or a sideboard. Because it is solid rather than pierced it does not need a plain wall behind it, and it will hold up against a patterned wallpaper or a bookcase. Light from one side is what it wants, to read the folds; light from directly in front flattens them. The dark grey foot anchors it visually so it can stand on a pale surface without looking as though it is floating. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFold Depth, Stem Thickness \u0026amp; the Colour Run\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. Three things are set at order on this piece. Fold depth changes it most: shallow folds make a smooth draped cone, and deep folds as here make a piece that reads almost as fabric. Stem thickness is the structural choice rather than a cosmetic one, and a slightly heavier stem is offered where the sculpture is going somewhere it may be knocked, at some cost to how suspended the skirt looks. The colour run is specified by where it starts, and clear-to-grey can be replaced by any tint from the studio range. On a desk the black can read severe, so a pale stone base is offered as well. Handling is simpler than on the pierced pieces because there is nothing to put a finger through: it travels in a fitted foam shell with the base packed separately, and it is lifted with one hand under the skirt and one around the stem. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA draped skirt flaring over a twisted stem belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; folds that hold shadow instead of openings set it among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin that darkens down the stem suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 15 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956669145435,"sku":"T020","price":1889.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T020.jpg?v=1790857984","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/grey-draped-twist-resin-sculpture-58cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
