One sheet rises from a twisted foot and opens out at the top into a quarter circle, and the ribbing across that open fan is very fine indeed: something like sixty parallel lines cross its face. The material is turquoise and translucent where it gathers at the foot, and it runs clear and almost colourless across the open fan itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Fine a Rib Can Be Cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRib pitch has a floor and this piece sits close to it. Ribs are read by the light they break up, so as they are cut closer together each one returns less until they stop being lines and become a texture, and then a haze. Where that happens depends on how far away the piece is looked at from and on how deep each rib is cut, not on the spacing alone: a fine rib cut shallow disappears at arm's length, while the same spacing cut deeper still reads across a room. Here the ribs run so close across the open fan that its upper face breaks into rows of fine dashes, and the turquoise flanks of the foot carry ribs of their own either side of a smooth face. The twist at the foot is the counterweight to all that surface: the sheet has to arrive at the block on a bearing that puts the mass of the fan over the base rather than beyond it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts stone takes it to 56cm, which suits a console, a sideboard or a shelf, and it wants to be close to where somebody stands, since the fine ribbing is what there is to see and it is lost at more than a few paces. A hall console, a sideboard or a shelf at chest height all work. Give it a plain background: the open fan is nearly colourless and reads whatever is behind it. Light from behind and slightly to one side is what makes the ribbing register, turning each rib into a bright line, and a light in front of it flattens the whole fan into a pale sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRibbing, the Twist and How to Hold It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. Fan size, rib pitch and the twist of the foot are all settled with each commission, which allows a version with ribs at half this pitch or a fan opened out to a half circle. Colour is a separate choice: this turquoise gathering at the foot, an amber, a smoke grey, or a body graded from a deep base to a clear fan. Its block comes in this black marble or in a pale marble. Hold it by the twisted foot and the block, never by the open edge of the fan. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single fan of ribbed resin opening from a twisted foot, the piece is found with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Teal Resin 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":54024187117915,"sku":"C227","price":2582.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C227.jpg?v=1792069739","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/turquoise-fine-ribbed-quarter-fan-resin-sculpture-56cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
