拍品專文

‘One of the things that lured me into art was the attraction of another kind of space, a space of vision and creativity. It seemed a very enriching world to me, and that was the world I wanted to be in, rather than in the drudgery of peasant farming which is where I come from. As soon as I gravitated towards Sculpture I found my spiritual home.’ (C. Parker, quoted in, L. Tickner, ‘A Strange Alchemy: Cornelia Parker’, in Difference and Excess in Contemporary Art: The Visibility of Women’s Practice,
Maldon and Oxford 2004, n.p.).
