Title: Light from the North, from the series Through a Glass Darkly Artist: Cornelia Parker Date of Work: 2020 Medium: print: etching Dimensions: h 55.8 x w 81 mm   Caption: Part of a series of atmospheric etchings that Parker made during the pandemic. Based on an enigmatic verse in the bible written by St Paul, `For now we see through a glass, darkly`, the prints resonate with the distorted sense of reality and desire for spiritual comfort many people felt in 2020. They also reflect Parkers interest in techniques pioneered by the early photographer William Fox Talbot who, like Parker, had a studio in Reading.   Object Number: 2021.9.1 Acknowledgements: Reading Foundation for Art collection Copyright: Image: Reading Borough Council/ Intellectual: The artist   Back
