More quotes by Cornelia Parker

Cornelia Parker
When people asked to buy my work I always said no. I'd had this rather rarefied idea that I didn't want money going through my head while I was making work. But after the car crash I realized that none of my work was owned by anyone. After that, I grew up a bit.
Cornelia Parker

Cornelia Parker

Cornelia Parker

Cornelia Parker
If I'm not doing the work I want, I usually suffer a psychological allergic reaction and get ill. It niggles when things get out of my control.
Cornelia Parker
There's only a certain amount of works you can make, so you have to make only the ones you really want to make. It's all about trying to be as productive as possible.
