{"product_id":"teal-gridded-upright-leaf-resin-sculpture-49cm","title":"Teal Gridded Upright Leaf Resin Sculpture - 49cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn upright leaf, slim from front to back, in a grey body with teal running through it and a fine grid worked across the entire face. The form narrows to a point at the top and the squares of the grid are drawn a little finer as they approach it. The black marble under it comes with the leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Grid Cut Over the Whole Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere alone the texture is not confined to a region, and that changes what it does. A field combed over part of a body reads as a marked area within a clear one; carried over the whole face it stops being a mark and becomes the surface itself, which is why this form can be drawn so thin without looking fragile. The grid gives the eye a continuous scale across the leaf, and scale is what makes the thinness read as intention rather than as weakness. The point at the top is the other half of it. A leaf form that ends in a curve reads as a petal and sits still; ended in a point it acquires a direction, and the grid then appears to run up toward it. The squares are drawn slightly finer toward the tip for that reason, so the movement has somewhere to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 49cm it needs very little surface and fits a narrow shelf or a desk. It is read through rather than at, so it asks for light from behind: a window ledge is ideal, and a bookshelf with depth behind it is better than a blank wall. Met from the edge the leaf closes to a line and the grid disappears entirely, so it should be given a position with one clear frontal approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Grid, the Point, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The grid is cut finer, the point is drawn blunter, and the teal is graded from the tip rather than the foot. The grid is also cut finer or coarser over the same face, which changes the apparent size of the piece more than its dimensions do. The leaf is made at other heights on this stone. A clear body with no grey in it is offered and makes a brighter object that holds the grid less well, since the grey is what the squares are read against. A single flat case takes it on edge, the point packed clear and the marble apart, and one person lifts it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA leaf drawn to a point belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a grid cut over a whole face leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a slim form for a window ledge 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 10 x 4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Smoke Resin with Teal on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070796878171,"sku":"X146","price":1754.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X146.jpg?v=1790954975","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-gridded-upright-leaf-resin-sculpture-49cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
