Cornelia Parker
Cornelia Parker bends time and space to recreate a moment of change
She suspends pieces of the destruction of an object, floating it in a frozen explosion…a moment in time which is stopped for the viewer to examine. There is a repetition of form and idea as the piece is spread out in space.
The artist uses subtle differences in size and height of the individual elements, which impart direction and movement. Suspension frames the pieces with space, giving them the quality of a thought, enhancing the idea of that particular moment in time. They are floating, not an object which is whole and complete. This allows them their own place of belonging in that time between destruction and aftermath.
