On this Tuesday I did some research about the artist named Cornelia Parker. I wanted to know how she creates her works and what she try to express. I watched some videos about Cornelia and the way she used to create work to learn how to use these ways to creation.
Cornelia Parker is an English visual artist, best known for her sculpture and installation art. Through the videos I found she usually do her work with something special. The things what she used look like cliché, such as no-more-useful teapots, paper, sliver, toys, tools, her own things, furniture, etc. She broke them then rebuilt them and make a new form to show others what the material changed. In addition, she can start work in everywhere, like the one of the streets in London（fig1） or just at home.
She is famous for her acts of destruction which shows the different from normal art. Many of her works have been controversial due to her different process–steamrolling, blowing up, wrapping and melting objects to produce a raw material to rebuilt(fig2).
In my opinion, this process shows the fact that history could be represent. she is trying to change the world through her own ways, she always focus on how to break the traditional thinking and give others a bran-new visual impression. By searching her works and thoughts I learnt, I need to change myself and try to go out like her to find something interesting to rebuild, on the other hand, if I try to, art always could change myself, even the world.
