The colour runs deeper at the outer edges and pales toward the middle. It is supplied with a black slab and the black marble column that carries it, the stone veined finely in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClosed, Because an Open Flower Says It All at Once\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn open flower is the weaker sculpture, and the reason is how quickly it is finished with. Open the sheets out and the silhouette becomes a star, the eye takes the whole arrangement in at a glance and there is nothing left to find. Closed, the sheets overlap and the piece holds one compact mass with a suggestion inside it, so the outline stays simple at a distance and the object only opens up when someone comes near enough to follow the overlaps. At standing height on a column that matters more than it would on a table, because the first reading happens across a room. The matt surface is the same decision: it keeps the silhouette clean where a gloss would break it with highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 133cm it is a floor object met at about chest height, and it wants to be walked up to rather than tucked away: an entrance, a wide landing, the open end of a room. Give it a plain wall behind, since the whole piece at a distance is its outline. It is matt and takes light without returning any, which makes it unusually forgiving of a dim position and unusually dependent on a pale ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Sheets, the Supports, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The turquoise is deepened or lifted toward white, the sheets are drawn opening rather than closed, and the bud is cast at other sizes. The column is offered at other heights, and a short stand is made for a tabletop version of the same bud. A polished finish is also built and is a brighter, busier object that gives up the clean silhouette. It travels in two crates, the column braced upright and the bud packed in a cut bed with the slab flat, and two people handle the column. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bud closed rather than open is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the matt turquoise is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a piece at standing height 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 30 x 3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 35 x 90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatt Cast Turquoise Resin on a Black Marble Column\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069536129371,"sku":"X182","price":2562.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X182.jpg?v=1790956317","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/turquoise-matt-bud-on-marble-column-resin-sculpture-133cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
