{"product_id":"teal-scaled-arch-mass-resin-sculpture-33cm","title":"Teal Scaled Arch Mass Resin Sculpture - 33cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mass of cast resin that arches over from a broad foot, covered all over in overlapping scales, and nowhere on it, within the arch or without, is left unworked. Teal is strongest over the crown and gives out toward the foot, where the scales turn almost clear. The clear block that comes with it is solid through rather than hollow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWorked Inside the Arch as Well as Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovering an arch inside and out with the same scale removes the one thing that normally tells you how deep a form is, which is a smooth passage somewhere to judge the worked parts against. What replaces it is the scale size itself: the scales are cut broader over the crown and finer toward the foot, so their pitch changes where the form does. That only works because the change is gradual. A sudden step in scale size would read as a join, and on a form with no edges anywhere a join is the one thing there is nothing to explain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow table or desk, and the light must rake across it: the scales only separate under something coming from one side. A dark surface behind holds the outline, which is what the piece is read by. The clear block leaves that outline running to the surface. Every surface carries the same scale, so there is no plain passage to judge depth against and the mass is read entirely from its outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpans, the Scales and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The scales are cut to a coarser pitch, the teal is taken toward blue, and a stone block can replace the clear one beneath. The mass is cast at other spans, and the scale size is set to the surface rather than held at one. A version with the inside of the arch left plain is made, and it then reads as a shell rather than a mass. One box holds the mass and its block, with the packing at the foot and nothing against the scales, and the mass is always taken up by its broad foot rather than the crown. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is cast \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the scaled mass above is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a surface worked this closely is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 x 26 x 2cm\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":54091197022555,"sku":"H297","price":2091.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H297.jpg?v=1791981953","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-scaled-arch-mass-resin-sculpture-33cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
