{"product_id":"teal-wave-and-gilt-spheres-cast-resin-sculpture-92cm","title":"Teal Wave \u0026 Gilt Spheres Cast Resin Sculpture - 92cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix gold spheres sit on fine looping wires high over the brushed teal arc of this cast resin sculpture, tracing a line the water does not. The arc is worked in long brush strokes that run with its curve, so the surface reads as moving water rather than as polished resin, and its colour is deepest at the bottom of the curve, clearing to colourless at the two raised ends, which break into ragged spray. Two short rods hold the arc clear of the black marble block beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Line the Water Does Not Take\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour of the spheres sit together on one high run of wire and the other two stand apart, one on the crown of a loop and one out on its own, so the eye reads a cluster, a pause and a single point rather than a row. The wires are drawn as long free curves that climb from both ends of the arc and cross one another above the opening, and every sphere rests on top of its wire rather than hanging from it. Each is a slightly irregular bead of polished gold, closer to a drop of metal than to a machined ball, and returns a point of light from wherever it is seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wires want a still position, away from a swinging door or a draught. At 92cm it suits a console against an inside wall, a sideboard or a broad alcove, where the spheres rise above the eye of anyone seated nearby. It also wants space above: the highest sphere stands well over the arc, and a shelf close over it turns the composition into a huddle. Light from one side is best, since the spheres return a point of light rather than a shape; from directly in front they flare and the wave behind them is lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBalancing Six Spheres, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Every sphere sits on a wire rising from the arc, so the setting-out is done with the arc finished rather than before. On commission the number of spheres and the height of the wires can be changed, and the spheres come in gold, chrome or blackened steel. The span of the arc can be altered, the brushing laid finer or coarser and the tint taken deeper or paler. It arrives crated with the spheres packed apart, and each one is settled into place by hand once the arc stands on its block. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix gold spheres perched high on fine wires above a brushed teal arc carry this piece into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e92cm\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\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with Gilt Spheres on Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54026324443483,"sku":"L122","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L122.jpg?v=1791887797","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/teal-wave-and-gilt-spheres-cast-resin-sculpture-92cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
