Cornelia Parker
Bullet Drawing (Verso), 2016
Lead from bullets, melted down and drawn into wire, threaded through paper
27 x 23 inches
$12,500, framed

Cornelia Parker's Bullet Drawings (part of an ongoing series) are made from various different types of bullets that have been melted down and drawn out creating a lead wire. Through the process of being drawn, the bullets have been made into their own possible trajectories. The lead wire is woven through the paper following a grid-like structure that suggests a net or snare. In this drawing, Parker has flipped the paper over to reveal the underbelly or “chaotic” side of the grid.
