The next instalment in the BSR’s Talk Materialities series will feature the artist, Cornelia Parker. A Rome Award Fine Arts holder in 1989 and shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1997, Parker is a sculptor who creates work that engages with the fragility of existence and the transformation of matter. From the suspended fragments of a garden shed (blown up for her by the British Army), to the repurposing of the paper negatives left over from the Richmond Poppy factory, her work transforms everyday objects into unexpected, haunting scenarios.
