Cornelia Parker was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997 and has exhibited widely in Britain, Europe and America, including a solo exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in 1998. In conversation with Lisa Tickner, she discusses the impact of her early training and explores in detail sculptures and installations produced and exhibited since 1989. These include Thirty Pieces of Silver (1998), Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991) and The Maybe (1995). Parker discusses these works with reference to her fascination with particular materials, working processes and sculptural transformations.
