For some years Cornelia Parker’s work has been concerned with formalising things beyond our<br />
control, containing the volatile and making it into something that is quiet and contemplative -<br />
such as the ‘eye of the storm’. She is fascinated with processes in the world that mimic cartoon<br />
‘deaths’ – steamrollering, shooting full of holes, falling from cliffs and explosions. Through a<br />
combination of visual and verbal allusions her work triggers cultural metaphors and personal<br />
associations. <strong>The</strong>se allow the viewer to witness the transformation of the most ordinary objects<br />
into something compelling and extraordinary.<br />
