About The Artwork
The work refers to the specifics of the Silesian family in which men worked at the mine and the women looked out for their return. Industrial character of Silesia and the lack of certainty whether something bad had happened was a life determining element. Daily looking out for and listening for were kinds of a ritual. The sound of sirens meant the confirmation of fears. It's a work in which the fear of realization of anxieties provokes drama to come, and association of fluttering curtains with internal anxiety triggers a particular set of emotions and irrational misgivings. " I wanted to depict the tension between the expectation and the absence where apparent tranquility was the announcement of repressed thoughts. Total tension is a form of refined cruelty. Here, behind the veil of uncertainty there lurks helplessness mixed with hope. "

Erwina Ziomkowska received a master's degree in painting from Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, Poland. "I create objects and temporary installations. Women`s garments and several pairs of shoes all pinched with a huge amount of pins, skulls so fragile that with every touch they may break, swing with additional ballast, paper punctured with a pin/knife, neons, some books, this is all what I need to create my works. Very characteristic is the extremely minimalist way of acting, boiled down the simple, by design, repetitive activities i.e.: grooving, threading, puncturing, scratching, etc. Despite the extreme intensity of work it is very difficult to notice in the completed objects, even a shadow of the passing expression, which is now replaced with entirely purified forms, reminding us more of a picture of sterile cool beauty than a record of human feelings and emotions."
