Product Description
Book Description
Through her sculptures and installations, British artist Cornelia Parker explores the metaphysical dimensions of objects, with both a serious eye toward probing issues of intellectual perplexity, and also humorously suggesting approaches to phenomena such as gravity and ideas about the meaning of objects. By representing things in a state of transition, from solid to volatile, from unit to fragment, from static to movement, she shows how every inanimate object has its own existence: a past, present, and potential that goes beyond its physical appearance at any given moment. This book features new, never-before-published work that has recently been exhibited in Torino, Italy.

Fascinating use of materials, Jun 10 2001
By Diane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cornelia Parker (Paperback)
I don't normally buy "art" books - but when an artist friend of mine showed me her copy, I couldn't put it down...and I knew I had to get my own copy to share with my friends. The artist creates art in a fascinating way. I found her sculptures to be both amusing and mesmerizing.
