Cornelia Parker

Cornelia Parker is an English sculptor and installation artist. I like how she transforms such normal and recognisable objects into abstract works of art. I was especially intrigued by 'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View.' At a first glance this installation just looks like abstract explosion of wood, until your eyes piece it together and you see that it is in fact a shed. I like how the light placed inside the shed casts shadows on the walls, this gives it the effect that an explosion is actually taking place.
