The cuts run on curves that lean around the upright, so each segment stands on its own and the group appears to turn, and a lens-shaped core runs the full height at the centre for them to lean against. The disc under the segments is cast with them, and there is no other base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Segments and What Holds Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sphere divided into four is two decisions, not one: how the cuts run, and what is left in the middle. Cut on straight planes the segments would be wedges and the piece would read as a ball that had been sliced; cut on curves that lean around the vertical axis, as these are, each segment becomes a leaf standing on its own and the group appears to turn. The core is what stops that from looking like four objects. It is drawn as a lens running the full height at the centre, so every segment has something to lean against and the eye reads one body opened rather than four pieces arranged. Leaving the core out would have been simpler to cast and would have produced a cage. The disc beneath is cast with the segments for the same structural reason: it ties the four feet together where they are thinnest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts 30cm makes it a piece for a windowsill or a lit shelf, read into rather than at, so it wants to be below eye level with something bright behind it. The gaps between the segments are the point of it, and against a dark wall they close up and the piece becomes a solid teal ball. A window ledge or a lit shelf both work. It sits on its own cast disc and needs nothing under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Segments, the Core, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. The segments are cut at other counts, the green is taken toward blue, and the core is drawn fuller. The number of segments can be raised or lowered, which changes the object more than anything else offered on it, and the core is made fuller so that less of the interior shows through. The ball is made at other diameters. A frosted body is offered and closes the gaps visually, since the segments are separated by what can be seen between them. It is crated on its own disc, with the segment tops packed clear of one another. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ball cut into standing segments is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the teal runs through as \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a piece read into is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e shelf work.\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\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Teal Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070798287195,"sku":"X281","price":1687.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X281.jpg?v=1790959399","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-four-segment-cut-sphere-resin-sculpture-30cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
