Contemporary sculptor and installation artist Cornelia Parker is best known for her large-scale installations such as her (literally!) explosive work (1991), in which she took an archetypal garden shed and its contents, had it blown up by the British Army and then installed the debris around a single light bulb, creating the dramatic effect of an explosion frozen in time.  She transforms everyday objects and produces works of extraordinary beauty.Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View
