{"product_id":"pale-green-fluted-open-ring-resin-sculpture-100cm","title":"Pale Green Fluted Open Ring Resin Sculpture - 100cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed ring standing on its own bottom edge, the body fluted into radiating ribs and opened through the middle, set into a marble base longer than the ring is wide. The flutes are clear at the outer rim and turn grey-green toward the lip of the opening, so the ring darkens inward. A marble base is supplied, longer than the ring is wide, and the title figure is taken across the base rather than up the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSixty Flutes Round a Curve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlutes cut around a curve change width as they go, so a fluted ring cannot be set out once and repeated: every rib is a different width from its neighbour and the eye notices immediately if they are not. The flutes are deepest at the bottom where the body is thickest and fade toward the top, which is what stops it reading as a plain hoop. Flutes cut this close together across a curved face need a body that holds an edge, and there are more than sixty of them. Polished over the flutes and between them, which is where the work actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dining table, a long sideboard or an island. The span beats the height here, so a surface suits it and a floor does not. A dark ground behind it puts the opening in the middle to work; against white the ring closes up. Light from one side throws every flute into relief and the ring reads as a fan rather than a hoop. The opening is what registers across a room and the fluting is entirely a close matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCoarser Flutes, and How It Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. The flutes are cut coarser or finer, a tint is run out to the rim, and the base is cut down. Cut the flutes coarser and the fan effect goes with them, because it depends on how many of them the eye crosses at once. Base and ring travel apart in one crate and the ring is set into its seat on site. One person for the ring and one for the base, and the ring is carried at the bottom where the body is thickest. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fluted ring opened through its middle leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the ribbed casting sits among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more pieces that read along their length are in 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 x 35 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFluted Cast Resin on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104278368603,"sku":"Z343","price":3375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z343.jpg?v=1790876399","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/pale-green-fluted-open-ring-resin-sculpture-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
