{"product_id":"turquoise-granular-wave-curl-resin-sculpture-60cm","title":"Turquoise Granular Wave Curl Resin Sculpture - 60cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis turquoise wave rolls round into a curl, its surface left granular all over, so the light breaks up across it into a mass of small glints rather than one sheet of reflection. The curl comes round about three quarters of a turn, and the tip finishes above the trough rather than inside it. The turquoise is deepest low in the body and fades through the crest, so the curl runs clear and milky white towards its hooked tip, and the wave stands on the white marble block it comes with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGranular All Over, With Nothing Polished\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA granular surface is a decision that cannot be half made. Light arriving at a polished face leaves it again in one direction; light arriving at a granular one scatters, and the piece looks as though it holds its own light. That only holds while the surface is granular everywhere. A smooth patch the size of a thumbnail would behave like a mirror in the middle of a granular field and be the first thing anyone noticed. Here the grain runs unbroken over the whole surface, the open inside of the curl and the hooked tip included, so the piece reads as one body of moving water from every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA granular surface goes flat under a spotlight, so it wants daylight or a soft lamp rather than a downlighter. A hard beam lands on the near face, blows it out and leaves the curl behind it in shadow, which is precisely the opposite of what the finish is for. Near a window, or under a shaded lamp, the whole body glows evenly and the turquoise deepens. It needs a generous surface and sits low, so a coffee table or a broad shelf both suit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDepth of Colour, the Open Curl and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The surface is granular everywhere and the light has to scatter evenly across it, so a smooth patch shows up as a flaw. The turquoise is taken deeper or paler, the curl is drawn more open, and a polished version of the same wave is made. The marble block under it is cut to other sizes, and it can be had in black as well as this white. It travels on its side in a foam-lined case with the stone packed apart, and it is set on the stone on site, which is all the assembly there is. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curl left granular rather than polished is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the turquoise runs through \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a scattering surface reads best in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e light.\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\u003e40.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 30 x 7.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGranular Cast Turquoise Resin 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":54054187762011,"sku":"L309","price":3104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L309.jpg?v=1791906785","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/turquoise-granular-wave-curl-resin-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
