From the crossing the band runs out into two lobes of unlike size and character: one rises into a tall loop, smoothly rounded and open at its centre, while the other lies low and long, folded into flat planes that meet at crisp edges. Amber is banked deep at the crossing and clears to a pale golden honey at the crown of the round loop and inside the folded one. No stand is supplied, and the piece lies on the outer faces of its two lobes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery Plane Stops at Its Own Edge\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting a rounded loop against a faceted one changes what happens at the crossing. The round loop returns long, continuous highlights that run with the curve of the band, while the other lobe is cut into flats, so every plane there returns its own highlight and stops at its own edge. The crossing is where those two ways of handling light meet, which makes it the place where the most changes happen rather than the fewest. The amber is banked exactly there for the same reason, deepest where the band passes over itself and clearing to honey towards the crown of the loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it a long run with space either side; depth behind it does nothing for a piece that lies down. One strong source beats an even wash here: every facet returns its own highlight, and a flat light runs them together. A dark surface beneath deepens the crossing. With one lobe rounded and the other faceted, the crossing is where the most changes happen, and turning the piece a few degrees moves every highlight on it at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLengths, the Facets and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The facets are cut broader or finer, the amber is pushed to a colder brown, and the two lobes are cast at matching sizes. Other lengths are made, with the facets set out afresh for each one. Rounding the folded lobe to match the loop makes a calmer and far more conventional object, and the amber then has to carry the crossing on its own. The packing goes inside both lobes rather than around the outside, and two people are wanted to lift it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA smooth amber loop that crosses into a lobe of hard-edged planes is one for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e57cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54091139350875,"sku":"H260","price":3108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H260.jpg?v=1791979277","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/orange-faceted-figure-of-eight-resin-sculpture-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
