For one of the lessons in Professional Studies we watched a BBC Four programme called 'What Do Artists Do All Day?'. The artist on the particular episode we watched was named Cornelia Parker. She is English, has an OBE, she was nominated for a turner prize and is a installation and sculptor artist. Whilst we were watching the programme we were asked to write down some notes about her professionalism. One of the things I noticed while watching, and what I jotted down was, what she does as part of her art is to hook ordinary things together and turns it in to art. One of the things she said was, for her art, she collects material that is deteriorating and which looks unusual. Cornelia also mentioned that it shouldn't feel like you're forced to do it and she doesn't necessarily always know what she is doing but has an inkling and goes with it. She has a vision of how she wants to show and communicate her art and is very self motivated.
