The artist Cornelia Parker uses dangerous and unique things to make art. It started out when she was a child. She lived with her 2 sisters and a physically abusive dad. She would have to spend her playtime mucking out stables and milking cows, which seemed like a harmless task, but it was intoxicatingly destructive. She had to take the milk to the train station, so she took this as a benefit and started squashing pennies. This was the start of her art and imagination.
She started her work in the1980’s and she has constructed some of the most striking art by using insane things to make it. She used a wide range of things ranging from plastic explosives to snake venom. Her first-ever major survey of her work was done in London, Tate Britain. It contained over 100 of Parker’s pieces showing more than 3 decades of her life. One of her most famous pieces is “Thirty Pieces of Silver,” which took over 1,000 things made of/ plated in silver and then took a steamroller to smash them down. She used steam rollers in many of her art works as it is one of her techniques. Cornelia Parker is a wonder in art and has a very interesting imagination.
