Cornelia Parker - Exploded Shed

Exploded Shed

Quoting artist Cornelia Parker as she discusses her work, including Cold, Dark Matter: An Exploded View from 1991:

“I resurrect things that have been killed off... My work is all about the potential of materials - even when it looks like they've lost all possibilities.”

This inspired an orchestral composition of the same name by Joo Yeon Sir. Also, The Exploding Shed hangs in the Tate Modern and gives off dramatic shadows.

Famous quotes containing the words exploded and/or shed:

    The generation of women before us who rushed to fill the corporate ranks altered our expectations of what working motherhood could be, tempered our ambition, and exploded the supermom myth many of us held dear.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    Odour of blood on the ancestral stair!
    And we that have shed none must gather there
    And clamour in drunken frenzy for the moon.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
