This portrait of Cornelia Parker was shot on black and white film using a Hasselblad medium format camera in the garden of the artist’s London home. Using a garden shed as a backdrop, Boll used available natural light to capture the portrait and hand-printed the silver gelatine fibre print in a darkroom in Lewes.

Cornelia Parker (b. 1956) is well known for her large scale, often site specific, installations. Her engagement with the fragility of existence and the transformation of matter is exemplified in two key works: Dark Matter, a cartoon-like reconstruction of an exploded army shed, and Heart of Darkness, the formal arrangement of charred remains from a forest fire. There is an apocalyptic tone to much of her work but she also demonstrates a concern with the more insidious effects of global warming and consumerism.
