Description: | photogram. Cornelia Parker's "Raven Feather from the Tower of London" is a beautiful image in itself and points to wider concepts of time and place. The ragged feather was taken from one of the famous ravens of the Tower of London, a place steeped in history. Its strong association with the Tower is emphasised by Parker as a way of directing our attention beyond its appearance, to the wider history of the Tower and the events that happened there. "Sometimes I find the tiniest bit of information the most evocative," she commented in an interview for her exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in 1998. | Rights holder: | © Cornelia Parker | Subjects: | conceptual art raven Tower feather | Temporal: | 1998 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Cornelia Parker | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
