The Silver Squasher


A couple of weeks ago

As I sat down in the living room one evening with Dad, I turned on the TV.

As soon as I turned it on, it lay on BBC Two.

The programme titled 'Imagine... Summer 2016: 2. DANGER! Cornelia Parker' appeared

I didn't know what the programme was about at first but I quickly became intrigued.

Cornelia Parker, her name ran a bell. It wasn't until one of her pieces popped up on screen, I finally knew who she was and what she's created.



'Cold Dark Matter: An Explosive View: 1991'

I first came across this during my time in college. I guess this subconsciously helped navigate my interest towards the art I'm interested in today, art that submerges into their environment. I love how it spreads out touching all four walls including ceiling and floor, it has no end or beginning and although the piece fills the room, the viewer is still able to explore throughout. This is what I love, being able to connect and emerge your body into a piece of art.  


I advise anyone who's interested in the use of space and found objects, to watch this programme.



'Brilliant Ideas: Sculptor and Artist Cornelia Parker'
