Green runs through the upper faces and the right shoulder, violet and magenta down the middle and the left, a deep wine red along one narrow band across the left side, turquoise along the foot and a pale lavender on the right below the green. Through the clear body the faces behind return colours of their own, so the block reads in depth as well as across its surface, and no single view takes in more than part of its colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour Stacked From Shoulder to Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA block cut into twenty-odd planes is planned as a whole before the first cut, because each face changes the angle of the faces beside it, and on a dichroic body the angle is the colour. That is how one block carries green across its shoulder, violet and magenta through the middle, a wine red on one narrow band and turquoise at the foot without any change of material. The polish then has to be even across every plane, since a dull patch on a clear body shows the faces behind it as a smudge rather than as colour. The foot planes are worked flat as a set so the block stands without packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEighty-eight centimetres puts this on a low plinth or the floor, and it wants to be placed where it can be reached from every side: from one fixed position you get perhaps a third of the colours, which come and go as the angle changes. A hall, a landing, the corner of a large room or the end of a glazed run all suit it. Give it daylight where you can. Light with some spread to it moves the colour across every face, where a single hard spot lights one or two and leaves the rest dark. Keep it clear of a doorway line, since the facet edges are crisp and shins find them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Planes, the Height and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The coating is specified at order: this run of green, violet and magenta, a cooler blue shift, a warm gold, or nothing at all for a block that reads as clear glass. Each piece has its own cut, so its proportions can be made squatter or more slender and the broad front set square to a room or turned to face a corner. It is moved upright, taken by the shoulder and the foot rather than laid on a flank. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpright and cut into twenty-odd planes of shifting colour, this gem stands with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e88cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52cm\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":54023522353499,"sku":"C047","price":3722.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C047.jpg?v=1792011256","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-upright-faceted-gem-acrylic-sculpture-88cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
