Born in Cheshire, England in 1956, Cornelia Parker OBE, RA is considered one of the UK's most acclaimed contemporary artists. For some years Parker’s work has been concerned with formalising things beyond our control, containing the volatile and making it into something that is quiet and contemplative like the ‘eye of the storm’. She is fascinated with processes in the world that mimic cartoon ‘deaths’ – steamrollering, shooting full of holes, falling from cliffs and explosions. Through a combination of visual and verbal allusions her work triggers cultural metaphors and personal associations, which allow the viewer to witness the transformation of the most ordinary objects into something compelling and extraordinary.
 
In 2010 Parker was elected to the Royal Academy London and appointed an OBE in the 2010 Birthday Honours.
 
In 2000, 2005 and 2008 she received Honorary Doctorates from the Universities of Wolverhampton, Birmingham, and Gloucestershire respectively.
 
Parker won the Artist of the Year Apollo Award in 2016.
 
Parker was also named as the official Election Artist for the 2017 general election in the UK. In this role she observed the election campaign leading up to the vote on the 8th June, and was required to produce a piece of art in response.
Parker created two films and a series of 14 photographic works as a result of this commission.
