Description
Cornelia Parker: A Catalogue of Works
Cornelia Parker is renowned for her innovative approach to sculpture and installation, transforming everyday objects into thought-provoking scenarios. Her practice involves capturing the moment of transformation, suspending subjects in time and presenting them in a state of stasis. This catalogue features over forty artworks from across Parker's career, including major installations, works on paper, video works, and smaller-scale sculptures. Highlights include six significant installation pieces, such as Thirty Pieces of Silver (1988-1989) and Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991), alongside works created during her appointment as the 2017 Election Artist for the UK General Election. The catalogue also showcases Parker's Avoided Object series, where she has transformed everyday objects through processes of burning, squashing, and flattening.
