{"product_id":"teal-frosted-pierced-torus-resin-sculpture-75cm","title":"Teal Frosted Pierced Torus Resin Sculpture - 75cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA torus frosted the whole way over, its rounded body cut right through by one broad, egg-shaped opening that narrows towards the top. A crisp folded edge runs down each side, one of them climbing to a peak at the top, while the rim of the opening itself is rounded smooth. The frost is even over the whole surface. Teal holds at the outer wall and pales almost to white as it turns inward. Nothing is supplied beneath it: the torus meets the surface along one short run of its outer wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Volume That Frames What Is Behind It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pierced volume of this kind is a demanding form to finish evenly, because the surface turns through every angle between the outer wall, the two folded edges and the aperture, and a frost has to hold its grain across all of it. Any variation shows as a band. The colour is set to work with that rather than against it: it is strongest on the outside and pales as the surface turns inward, so the frost is carrying a deliberate change and a small unevenness in it has somewhere to hide. On a flat tint the same surface would have to be perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRising 75cm, it wants a console, a low plinth or the end of a long sideboard, set so the aperture has something worth framing behind it. With a window beyond it the piece works; against a blank wall the opening does nothing at all. It rests on a small area of the outer wall and wants a level place to sit. One broad opening through a rounded body means the piece frames whatever is behind it, and turning it a few degrees changes what that is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiameters, the Frost and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The opening is drawn rounder or narrower, one face is brought to a full polish, and the tint is pushed toward a colder cast. The torus is cast at other diameters, and the opening is drawn to the same proportion of the wall. A narrower opening makes the piece read as a solid with a hole and a wider one as a ring, so the proportion is worth settling before the casting. Polishing one face clear gives the aperture a bright edge the frost withholds. It ships in one crate bedded around the outer wall, and two people should place it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rounded torus is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e for a hall; a volume with a hole through it is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and the frost sits over \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\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\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Cast 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":54077561373019,"sku":"H099","price":4319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H099.jpg?v=1791934382","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-frosted-pierced-torus-resin-sculpture-75cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
