On one side a cluster of pointed tongues leaps upward, one of them curving over towards the centre; on the other a broad mass sweeps up and rolls over, its points trailing downward like flames bent by a draught. Red at the base going to amber at the tips reverses the way water is coloured, where the depth is dark and the crest is clear, and the eye reads the reversal as heat. It stands on a flat black slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Stops Being Water\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo colours that meet inside a body are a different problem from two colours that meet at a surface. On a painted or plated object the boundary is on the outside and can be moved, masked or gone over. Here it sits in the middle of the material and is looked at through several centimetres of red on one side and amber on the other, so it is visible from every angle at once and there is no face of the piece from which it is hidden. That also means the boundary is doing the work of making this read as flame: too high in the body and the piece looks like a wave with a warm crest, too low and the amber becomes a rim. It sits where the form starts to turn, which is where a flame's own colour changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wants a cool ground, a pale wall or a grey stone, because against wood or brick it stops reading as flame. Warm surroundings put the red and the amber into the same family as everything around them and the piece becomes decorative rather than hot. Against grey, off-white or a cool stone the contrast does the opposite and the colour lifts. Its place is a broad surface rather than the floor, and it spreads as deep as it is wide, so that surface has to be wider than the piece by a clear margin on every side. It reads best at or slightly below eye level, looked into rather than down on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Boundary Inside the Material, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The red and the amber meet inside the material rather than at a surface, and where that change falls is chosen before the piece is made. The form can be made in a blue that reads as water again, and the boundary can be set near the foot or near the crest instead of at the middle. The plan dimension is drawn to order, and the black slab it stands on, which comes with it, can be finished in a paler tone. It travels in a foam-lined case laid on its back; lift it by the solid mass at the foot, never by a tongue, and set it down on its slab. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed resin climbing into amber until the water reads as flame is placed with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract 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\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 x 55 x 4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Red and 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":54026330243419,"sku":"L292","price":3602.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L292.jpg?v=1791906572","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-and-amber-flame-form-cast-resin-sculpture-58cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
