Measuring Niagara with a Teaspoon

Cornelia Parker

I've taken things like a Georgian silver spoon and had it melted down and drawn into a wire the height of Niagara Falls for example, to make a drawing, literally... a kind of wire drawing. So I've destroyed the object, but I've called it 'Measuring Niagara as a Teaspoon', so you get the idea in your head that you are looking at a teaspoon that has been made into the height of Niagara Falls, or is trying to measure Niagara Falls by being filled.
