{"product_id":"teal-iridescent-twisting-column-acrylic-sculpture-120cm","title":"Teal Iridescent Twisting Column Acrylic Sculpture - 120cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall, slender column built from thin acrylic slices stacked one on another, each faced with an iridescent film and set a few degrees round from its neighbour beneath, so the whole stack twists as it climbs. It swells and narrows four times on its way up, widest a little below the middle, then rises to a narrow point at the top and draws in to a slender stem at its foot, which stands on a white box plinth that comes with the column and is made to order. Teal and blue run through most of it, with bands of violet, magenta and red where the slices turn through the swells, and a single yellow band near the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSlices Turned Against the Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn iridescent film changes colour with the angle at which it meets the eye, and the column is built to use that: because every slice is turned a little from its neighbour, no two show the film at quite the same angle, and the colour moves from slice to slice rather than lying flat across the piece. The swells repeat the effect at the scale of the whole column. Where the column widens the slices reach further out, and that is where the violet and red gather; where it narrows they are short and the teal runs almost unbroken. A few dark slices above the yellow band finish the point, so the column ends firmly rather than fading out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 120cm it comes to about chest height on an adult, so its swells and its colour are met almost at eye level, and it is best placed where it can be walked round: a hall, a landing or the middle of a room rather than against a wall. It needs light from one side more than from the front, so that the film's colours move as people pass, and a plain wall well behind it keeps its outline clear against the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeight, Film and Lifting It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinarily a standard piece needs 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Each commission sets the height, the number of swells and the film, so the same column can be made with a tighter twist, with its swells set further apart, or at a grander height, and the film chosen in a cooler or a warmer range of colour, from blues and violets alone to ambers and reds. Both hands go under the stack near its foot to lift it, never round the point or a swell, and it stays upright until it is set down on its plinth. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA teal column of turned, film-faced slices, it leads on to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylic with an Iridescent Film\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371488858459,"sku":"C007","price":9700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C007.jpg?v=1792089292","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-iridescent-twisting-column-acrylic-sculpture-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
