Sculpture
Cornelia Parker is a British sculptor who transforms everyday materials and historical objects into interventions that reveal hidden narratives and violence. Working across sculpture, installation, and video, she dismantles, explodes, or reconstitutes found objects, examining how material traces carry memory and trauma. Her work engages with catastrophe, mortality, and the spaces between absence and presence, often employing strategies of destruction and reconstruction to unsettle conventional readings of form and time. This profile will be expanded as more verified source material becomes available.
