{"product_id":"smoked-black-double-loop-hanging-resin-sculpture-82cm","title":"Smoked Black Double Loop Hanging Resin Sculpture - 82cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hanging piece, as broad and as deep as it is high: a band of smoked resin twisted into a double loop, so that a pair of wide cupped curves cross at the centre around a round opening. The colour is black at the edges and pales across the broad faces to a translucent grey, which makes the band look as if it were turning in the light. It hangs from a single fine line at the crown of the upper loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Smoked Band Turned Twice in the Air\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA band that turns back on itself has no front and no back, and hanging it lets that be seen: it moves slowly on its line and shows a different face each time. The smoke is graded to make the most of this. It is densest at the edges, where the band is seen end on and reads as a black line drawing the figure, and it lightens across the broad faces, where it turns translucent and grey. The crossing at the centre is kept open, so the two loops never merge into one mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 82cm it hangs well in a stairwell, a double-height hall, a bay window or over a table, anywhere with air around it and a view up to it. It needs a secure fixing above and enough drop to clear heads and turn freely. It is at its best against daylight, which lights the grey faces and leaves the edges black; against a dark wall it becomes a pure silhouette. From across the room it is a slow-turning figure; closer, the grading of the smoke shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmoke, Colour and Hanging It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. It can be made in clear, amber or a deep blue instead of the smoke, and the band can be graded more strongly or kept to an even tone. An even tone makes it read as a solid ribbon and not a turning one. It is packed in a single crate with the loops braced, and once a secure fixing overhead is in, one person can hang it and adjust the drop. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA band turned twice in the air belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; smoked resin paling to grey leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a loop to turn slowly over a double-height hall 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\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmoked 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":54208487555419,"sku":"X130","price":7223.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X130.jpg?v=1790954913","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/smoked-black-double-loop-hanging-resin-sculpture-82cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
