{"product_id":"violet-and-grey-ringed-arch-resin-sculpture-50cm","title":"Violet \u0026 Grey Ringed Arch Resin Sculpture - 50cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn arched slab cut into concentric rings from the crown down, rising out of a rough foot worked into the same body. Grey in the outer rings across the top of the arch deepens to violet at the centre of the rings, low down, with the rock beneath it close to black. Nothing is supplied under it: the rough foot is part of the sculpture and the piece stands on that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTurning a Gradient Into Steps\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting concentric rings turns a continuous colour run into a readable set of steps, which is the one thing a graduation on its own cannot do. Colour that runs continuously through a body is read as one thing, a blur between two ends. Cutting it into steps gives the eye something to count, and counting is how anybody measures a graduation they could not otherwise describe. Cutting concentric rings into a graded body means every ring shows a different point along the colour run, and the material turns a gradient into a set of steps. The rings are polished and the foot is left rough, so two surfaces meet on one object and neither is hidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it on a console, a long sideboard or a wide shelf, and set it square rather than at an angle. A plain wall behind it. The rings are pattern enough without a patterned ground. Light from one side catches every ring edge and turns the arch into a set of bright lines. The rings read as one arch from across a room and as separate cuts from a pace away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Rings, and Carrying It on Its Faces\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The ring count can be opened, the violet can be carried up to the crown and the grey brought down, and the rough foot can be polished out. Open the ring count and the pitch changes with it, since the arch keeps its own span rather than growing to hold more rings. It arrives in one crate and nothing is done to it on site beyond setting it square. Two people. The arch is thin in the depth and should be carried on its faces. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcentric rings cut into an arch above a rough foot lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the violet and grey casting belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more to set square to a wall 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Grey to Violet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54112580272475,"sku":"Z359","price":2902.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z359.jpg?v=1790876414","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/violet-and-grey-ringed-arch-resin-sculpture-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
