Interesting Material


Title: Heart of Darkness
Date: 2004
Artist: Cornelia Parker
Material: charred timber resulting from a fierce forest fire that happened in Florida in 2004

By hanging the pieces of charred wood vertically, Parker is recreating their original state as strong, tall trees. However, because they are broken, split, and imperfect, we can see the destruction that had happened.
