Artist
Cornelia Parker
United Kingdom
Cornelia Parker is an United Kingdom Contemporary Abstract artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art.
Cornelia Parker collects things that shouldn’t be together and makes them breathe again. She flattened silver forks by running them over with a steamroller, then hung the twisted metal from threads like a ghostly garden—this is *Breathless*. She once blew up a tiny shed in the countryside, then displayed the wreckage like a relic.
That’s her trick: take the ordinary, crack it open, and show the strange life inside. Tap *Breathless* and see what happens when a steamroller and a teacup share the same room.
