Cornelia Parker.

Cornelia parker is an English sculptor and installation artist. She is well known for her large scale installations. An example of one is ‘Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View’. This piece was a garden shed which she got blown up by the British Army and then suspended the fragments which represented the explosion as if it had stopped in time. A light was placed in the center of the piece which then created shadows on the wall. They way she presents her work hanging in the center of a room means that it interacts with the audience. You can walk around the piece of work and view the whole thing unlike with a painting or photograph where you would only view it from the front. It would also cause the viewer to get closer to the piece to see what objects are hanging.
