I first saw Cornelia's work in Phoenix. Not only is it very interesting visually, but the materials she use are conceptually intriguing as well. The piece that I saw in Phoenix was all constructed out of a church that had burnt down, in Texas I believe. She used the charred remnants of the church to create her work. By reconstructing with materials that existed in a previous form, the work becomes chaotic masses of matter, floating in your presence in a very unnatural way. The other works are also constructed out of interesting found materials that had a story before coming into the forms that are shown above.
