Two finely ribbed sheets grow from one navy stem: the first swings out to the side in a wide fan whose leading edge curls under in a dark roll, and the second rises behind it with a row of small teeth down one margin, widening at its crown into a tall, flaring cup with a little coil of ribs turned back beside it. Navy marks the stem, that rolled edge and the outer face of the cup; between them the resin is left clear, so the dark parts read like a drawing in ink on glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNavy Kept to the Stem, the Roll and the Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design is drawn in two tones rather than one. Instead of tinting the whole piece, the navy appears only where the form turns or ends: the stem it grows from, the curled-under edge of the fan and the outer wall of the cup. Everything between is colourless. The effect is of an outline, the dark parts tracing the shape from across a room while the clear sheets show their ribs as fine silver lines that only resolve as you come closer. Where the fan's ribs run down into the stem they close up into a dark diagonal band, and the little coil at the top keeps just a thread of blue along its lower edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 76cm with its marble it sits well on a broad console in an entrance, a boardroom credenza or a gallery plinth, where the navy outline can be read from across the room. It needs a pale ground behind it: against white plaster or a window the clear sheets brighten and the dark lines sharpen, but against a dark wall the clear parts sink away and only the navy remains. Side light is what brings the ribs up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Tones, Their Balance and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. On commission the balance between the two tones can shift: the navy can be extended over more of each sheet or confined to the stem, and a colour copied from a swatch you send can replace it. The black block can be cut in white marble instead, which sharpens the break beneath the dark stem. To move it, cradle the marble from beneath with one hand and hold the stem upright with the other; the cup, the coil and the toothed edge should never bear any load. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNavy at the stem, along the curled lip and round the cup's rim, with clear resin between, sets this casting among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Navy and Clear 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":54370946253147,"sku":"C122-11","price":2577.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C228__2.jpg?v=1792087369","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/navy-and-clear-twin-ribbed-sheet-cast-resin-sculpture-76cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
