Łezka and Mischa

Warmth and Hush

There’s a song I wrote about my mum. The refrain features a radiator, a cold one, which “doesn’t dry my socks”. The sculpture, created from an old Soviet central heater from the 1960s, is an intimate objection to the cold, non-functioning heat pumps of the domestic circulatory system. The cast-iron heredity piles up with the heavy but very fragile modules of the DNA double helix.

The work was realised as part of the artist residency Sculpture everywhere at the Polish Sculpture Centre in Orońsko.
