Detailed description
Sculpture "Broken time" (2022)
Basalt is a volcanic hard rock. It was often used for road construction. For the sculptor, it presents a challenge with its hardness. Basalt does not actually occur in the sculptor's area. He found the almost cubic piece in a nearby forest, where it was probably once part of a road stabilization. It was transported by bicycle that reached its load limits. The idea was to combine the cubic shape with an organically stretched saddle surface that would receive strong impact with original fractures of the stone. However, the stone broke while being worked on. Instead of abandoning the project, the sculptor joined the two broken pieces together with such a way that a gap remains open. Stainless steel pieces serve as spacers. It was probably only through this process that the stone sculpture took on its own unique expression. The new sculpture was then mounted on a granite block. The height specification is together with this block.
