{"product_id":"teal-to-clear-spiral-ribbon-resin-sculpture-172cm","title":"Teal to Clear Spiral Ribbon Resin Sculpture - 172cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single ribbon wound up through four full turns, each one a little wider than the one below it, and the whole column standing on the foot the ribbon grows out of. Teal is banked at the foot and lifts away through four turns until the top is colourless. Polished all over, it carries a bright line of light down the edge of every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Turns and One Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spiral is a column pretending to be unstable, and the pretence only works if the foot is heavy enough that it is not. A ribbon wound this way has no repeating section anywhere along it, so every turn is a different width and a different pitch, and the column reads as a movement rather than as a stack of identical rings. A spiral this tall is a column made to look unstable, and the foot is plainly the heaviest part of it, which is what keeps the look from turning into a worry. A full polish over every face, which is what makes the turns read as one continuous movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, an atrium or a garden room. At this height it is floor work and wants nothing beside it. Plain ground behind, or the turns fill up with whatever is there and the spiral stops reading as a spiral. Daylight suits it best. Under one interior lamp the upper turns go unlit and the spiral reads as two turns rather than four. From a distance it is a single rising line; the four separate turns only count once you are inside a few metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTightening the Turns, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The turns are drawn tighter, the teal is carried further up, or the polish is taken back to a frost. Tighten the turns and the height comes down with them, because the ribbon is one length however it is wound. It travels upright, crated on a pallet, and comes out by the two turns nearest the foot. Two people and a clear route. At its full height it will not go round a tight corner upright. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA teal ribbon clearing as it spirals upward belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the polished casting sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more for an atrium or a tall hall is in 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\u003e172cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Teal to Clear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101660074331,"sku":"Z297","price":5333.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z297_a721af48-0921-48b3-9ed9-73478ebcedc4.jpg?v=1791461058","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-to-clear-spiral-ribbon-resin-sculpture-172cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
