Cornelia Parker @ Cristea Roberts Gallery

23 October 2020 - 21 November 2020

Cornelia Parker, who transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, uses printmaking to produce something elusive and ephemeral. Director Alan Cristea comments; “Parker’s new body of work, on which she has been working through the pandemic, is aptly called Through a Glass Darkly, the words of St Paul which suggest an obscure vision of reality. What we can’t see clearly now will eventually become evident and the artist has indeed presented us with a world of domestic objects and flora in the first stages of emergence from a ghostly past. She has breathed life into dead flowers and animated glassware as they struggle to shed their shadows.” Over 25 new works will appear for the first time in Through a Glass Darkly. The subject matter of these new works includes salt cellars; sugar bowls; medicine bottles; carafes; glassware; thistles, gerbera with decapitated heads and crushed forget-me-nots.
