Three-dimensional | Sculpture | Stone

The sculpture is made of Obsidian (Vulcanic glass), a new type of stone  for me. The stone can be worked with a chisel, but splinters easily,  scattering sharp pieces of glass. Whilst working on the stone it broke into two pieces, giving me the inspiration for the title. The finnish was achieved with a spiked hammer,  the textured surface contrasts with the smooth surfaces of the original fracture.
