Cornelia Parker is a sculptor and installation artist working in a wide variety of media, frequently featuring destructive amalgamations of household objects that have been layered, broken, or repurposed into new structures. Some of her best-known works are Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991), a garden shed frozen at the moment of explosion surrounding a single lightbulb, and Thirty Pieces of Silver (2011), a large-scale installation of suspended and flattened silver objects including teapots, candlesticks, and dinnerware. Parker has also collaborated with actress Tilda Swinton, first for a 1995 exhibition at Serpentine Gallery in London where Swinton slept inside a publically displayed glass vitrine, and again when this performance was recreated—to significant media attention—at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2013.Parker describes her work as both darkly humorous and ironic, and cites Marcel Duchamp as a source of inspiration. 

She is the recipient of numerous awards, CBE notably being shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1997.
