A pale blue holds the whole slab, deepest along the combed ridges and palest where the face is flat. A shallow black base is included beneath it, which is all a slab this flat needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Flat Thing Made to Catch Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slab is a difficult format to make interesting, since it has one face worth looking at and no silhouette to fall back on. The openings are not spaced evenly and are not the same size, so the slab reads as something eroded rather than as something drilled, which is the entire difference between the two. Ridges combed right across the face give the body an edge to catch light on wherever you stand, which a flat surface cannot do. The ridges are combed into the face and polished over, so the texture lies inside the material and not on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, a landing or against a long wall, standing on the floor. A dark ground shows the openings; against a pale wall they close up and the slab reads solid. Light raking across the face draws every ridge; light head on gives you a blank slab. The openings carry from across a room and the combing is entirely a near matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMore Openings, and How It Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. More openings are worked or fewer, the blue is deepened, and a deeper block is cut. Cut more openings and the ridges are drawn coarser, because there is less face left to carry them. One box with the base laid beneath it, and the slab is set down upright only when it is beside the wall it is going against. Two people. It is wide and flat, and it travels badly at any angle other than vertical. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pale blue slab combed into radiating ridges leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the pierced casting sits among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long wall suits it, as it does much of 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\u003e145cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 x 25 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCombed Pale Blue Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104275878235,"sku":"Z426","price":5872.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z426.jpg?v=1790877145","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/pale-blue-combed-pierced-slab-resin-sculpture-151cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
