{"product_id":"red-amber-cut-sphere-on-marble-resin-sculpture-66cm","title":"Red Amber Cut Sphere on Marble Resin Sculpture - 66cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ball of red amber resin that deepens where the material is thickest, clearing to a warm glow across the open faces where it is thinnest. Each hollow winds past the other and the two meet along a single wall, so the piece reads as one ball that has been opened rather than as two halves set together. A slab of black marble lies beneath it and comes in the same order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Colour Goes Is Decided by the Cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this diameter the two scoops are deep enough to put a hand into, and that is where the red starts to work against the form. The scooped faces come out bright and the rim comes out almost black, so what you have is a dark outline holding two lit hollows, which is the opposite of how a plain ball of the same colour looks. It is the whole reason this cut is worth making in a strong red rather than a pale one, and the reason a red this deep on a plain solid would simply look heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works where something can be seen through it, because the thin parts are the bright parts and they need light behind them to fire. A window end, a console with a lamp beyond it, or an alcove lit from one side all suit. Set flat against a dark wall it holds its shape but loses the internal glow, which is most of what the piece has. Its 66cm height suits a broad sideboard or the top of a low cabinet, approached head on, where both scoops read at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Red, the Cut, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. The red is taken toward orange or deepened almost to black, the scoops are cut further round, and the stone is offered at other sizes. The cut itself can be drawn at other diameters on the same arrangement of stone, which is the alteration that changes it most, since the wall between the scoops does not scale in step with the ball. Frosting the surface instead of polishing it reverses the object entirely: it stops the light partway in and the graded red becomes a surface rather than a depth. The marble travels apart from the casting in its own case, and the ball is lifted by the outer curve with two hands rather than by the opening, which is the thinnest part of it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo scoops winding past each other belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; red amber deepening toward the rims leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a ball that fires with light behind it joins 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\u003e55cm\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 Red Amber 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":54070795174235,"sku":"X012","price":3102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X012.jpg?v=1790951717","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-amber-cut-sphere-on-marble-resin-sculpture-66cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
