            "Cornelia Parker
Mass (Colder Darker Matter) 1997
Burnt wood, wire, and string
Cornelia Parker's installation is constructed from the charred remains of a Texas church that was struck by lightning. The London-based artist conceived of and created the work while resident at ArtPace in San Antonio. Featured in the 1997 Turner Prize Exhibition at the Tate Gallery (London), the work was described in the exhibition brochure as "chunks and splinters of charcoal suspended from the ceiling to form the illusion of a cube, dense at the center, thinning at the edges.  It appears at once flat and three dimensional, but never solid, almost disintegrating before our eyes." 
The title, in part, refers to the scientific term "cold dark matter," used to describe the unquantifiable in the universe. "Mass" suggests not only a spiritual gathering, but also the solids and voids that are basic elements of sculpture. The artist also thinks of this work as a charcoal drawing, or an abstract painting against a white background." 

"The Phoenix Art Museum is the Southwest United States' largest art museum for visual art. Located in Phoenix, Arizona, the museum is 285,000-square-foot (26,500 m2). It displays international exhibitions alongside its comprehensive collection of more than 18,000 works of American, Asian, European, Latin American, Western American, modern and contemporary art, and fashion design. A community center since 1959, it hosts year-round programs of festivals, live performances, independent art films and educational programs." wiki
