{"product_id":"red-and-amber-ribbon-resin-sculpture-230cm","title":"Red \u0026 Amber Ribbon Resin Sculpture - 230cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA composition of ribbons and closed loops rising high over anyone standing beside it, red at the foot and colourless by the topmost turn, on a round base. Red gathered at the foot, warming through amber up the middle ribbons and gone entirely by the topmost one. A round black base comes with it, broad enough to carry the whole composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Gradient That Becomes a Sequence\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver this height a colour run stops being a gradient and becomes a sequence, and the ribbon count is what sets how many steps it has. At arm's length a colour run reads as a gradient. Over a height like this it stops doing that and becomes a sequence of stages, because the eye cannot hold both ends at once, and the ribbon count decides how many stages there are. Running a colour out over this much ribbon means the material is deepest where it is most gathered, so the piece appears to be burning off as it rises. Polished over every ribbon, inside every loop, which at this scale is the bulk of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt belongs in an atrium or a double-height hall, and nothing about this one suits a room with an ordinary ceiling. A pale ground at its back, since the clearing at the top needs somewhere to disappear into. Light from two sides, since a piece this deep lit from one has a bright face and a dead one. The colour run carries the full height of a stairwell, and the individual loops only separate from close underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReversing the Run, and Three Crates\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. On request the ribbon count changes, the run is set the other way round, or the base is cut to another plan. Reverse the run and the weight goes to the top, which at this height makes a piece that looks as though it is falling. Three crates, and the assembly runs from the base upward with the top ribbon set last. Four people. Its breadth is the difficulty, not the weight. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbons and loops running from red to clear belong to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the round metal base under them joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and an atrium or a double-height hall gives the run its full height among 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\u003e220cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e134cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 x 80 x 10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Red to Clear on a Metal Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54114904932699,"sku":"Z664","price":27272.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z664.jpg?v=1790779369","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-and-amber-ribbon-resin-sculpture-230cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
