About the Artist

Cornelia Parker is a highly acclaimed British artist renowned for her conceptually rigorous and visually striking sculptures and installations. Her distinctive practice involves subjecting ordinary objects and materials to extreme processes—such as explosion, crushing, stretching, or suspension—to reveal their hidden properties and narratives. Parker's work profoundly explores themes of transformation, entropy, memory, and the unseen forces that govern the physical world. She transforms the familiar into the extraordinary, inviting viewers to contemplate the fragility of existence, the passage of time, and the poignant beauty found in fragments and arrested moments, often with a subtle wit and a deep intellectual curiosity.
