Location: Hljómskálagarður við tjörnina Sculpture by Gerður Helgadóttir is much more substantial than her former iron sculptures which tended to resemble light filigree. Her objective was partly to work against the mass, and here we see a twisting motion which lifts the sculpture. Gerður’s work was abstract, it was possible to see how she played with contrasts, the heavy and the floating, the inner and the outer. This piece was originally installed in Breiðholt, but was transferred to Hljómskálagarður Park in 2014, upon the opening of String of Pearls, the women’s sculpture park.
