Magenta and rose fall down the upper left edge, red and a deep violet-blue cross the right shoulder, amber, aqua and teal meet through the centre, and acid yellow and pale green carry down to the foot, with green and cyan flashes on the upper facets where the film is seen most steeply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWorking at Two Distances at Once\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA piece this size is looked at from across a room and then from arm's length, and it has to hold up at both. At distance only the largest planes register: they compose into a silhouette and a handful of colour masses, magenta at one edge, red and violet across the shoulder, yellow low in the centre. Close to, the reading is all edges: where two planes meet, how sharp the arris is, and how the film's colour turns as it crosses from one face to the next, which is where most of the colour changes happen. The narrow foot is the third demand. It has to be small enough that the mass appears to rest rather than to sit, and flat enough that the block stands square on a floor that may not be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 150cm it stands about as high as an adult's shoulder, and its upper facets are met almost at eye level. This wants a room with height and space to give it, and it stands on the floor: a double-height hall, a stair well, a wide landing, a gallery wall end, or the space beside a full-height window where daylight crosses it through the day. It needs to be approached from a distance and then walked around, so a position in the open serves it better than an alcove, and it wants clear space on the sides it will be passed on. Daylight is what it is for. Moving light through the day changes which faces return which colour, and a single fixed spotlight gives one arrangement of that and holds it still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScale, Film and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. Scale, facet layout and the film are drawn per commission: a version on a grander scale, one cut with fewer and broader planes for a starker read, or a group of three at graded heights are all from this design. The film is chosen at order, this full spectrum or a cooler range in blues and violets alone. A version filmed only on its interior faces is also made, which leaves the outside clear and the colour deep inside the mass. It stands free on its narrow foot with nothing to fix, and it is moved upright, held by its broad faces rather than its edges. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA block at architectural scale is still \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the film across its planes is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a piece that fills the end of a hall belongs in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e113.1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115.5cm\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":54024196227419,"sku":"C365","price":6321.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C365.jpg?v=1792077467","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-monumental-faceted-gem-acrylic-sculpture-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
