Holskefla

The sculpture Holskefla (e. Breaker), created by Sigurjón Ólafsson, is situated outside of Hljómahöllinn. This artwork was built in 1971 and consists of four arched shapes that are linked to the base through a fifth shape. The shapes are made of copper plates that have been welded together. The artwork's shapes and title suggest that waves are about to break. The sculpture stands at a height of 3 meters, mounted on a high pillar. In this artwork, the artist has experimented with shapes and the law of gravity, as the entire weight of the sculpture is placed on one side of the pillar. This is one of the few works in which Sigurjón has used geometric shapes.
