The body is crackled right through, which only shows when light comes from behind it. The disc is held upright in a slim black metal cradle whose two arms meet it below the mid line, and that cradle is supplied with the disc rather than being a display stand for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Cradle That Is Part of the Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA disc with a hole at its centre and a slit running out to the rim is a shape that cannot stand on its own, and rather than adding a foot to the casting the design gives it a cradle. That is the better answer for a piece read through, because a cast foot would be yellow and would interrupt the body exactly where the slit arrives. The cradle is black, thin and open, so it reads as a separate thing holding the disc rather than as part of it, and the eye subtracts it. Its two arms meet the disc below the mid line, which is why the piece looks held rather than propped. The crackle through the body is the other half of the design: an even yellow at this size would read as a plastic sheet, and breaking the material internally gives the colour a depth that a flat casting of the same tint does not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 33cm in its cradle it sits on a bookshelf or a mantel, and it asks for light from behind rather than in front. The crackle is only visible in transmission: lit from the front the piece is a flat yellow circle, and lit from behind it fills with internal structure. A window ledge does most for it. The cradle stands on a narrow foot and wants a flat surface rather than a cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Slit, the Cradle, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The slit is drawn wider, the yellow is taken toward amber, and the stand is made in other finishes. The disc is repeated at other sizes in the same cradle, and the crackle is run heavier or nearly out of the body, which changes the piece from something with internal structure to a clean yellow plane. A deeper amber is offered in place of the yellow. It travels in one case with the disc and the cradle packed apart and assembled in the room, and the disc is lifted by the rim rather than through the centre hole. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cradle carrying a disc is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the yellow body is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a piece this bright is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e work.\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\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 x 5.2 x 0.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Yellow Resin in a Black Metal Cradle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070797173083,"sku":"X304","price":1686.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X304.jpg?v=1790959720","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/yellow-slit-disc-in-a-metal-cradle-resin-sculpture-33cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
