Cornelia Parker (1956-) is a British artist that utilizes the idea of comic violence in her work. Some of her work is the result of explosions. She had the British army blow up her garden shed. She then recreated the explosion in the gallery (see image at left.)
She also ran over a number of silver place settings with a steam roller and suspended them as flat disks.
Andy Goldsworthy (1956-) creates art from nature. His goes outdoors and painstakingly arranges what he finds into sculptural, temporary pieces. He's not out to create new objects, but new ways of seeing what is already there.
In this piece, he has taken icicles and broken them up. They are dipped in water and allowed to freeze together one piece at a time.
Here, Andy has created a woven pattern of sticks in water. The water mirrors the image and it appears to float.

Cool. Andy Goldsworthy is one of my all-time favorites also!
Hi there, it's Mary (Wood) Lampros, from SLC, David and Marilyn's daughter. I just happened upon your blog via Sarah's, and have to ask if you've watched "Rivers and Tides," the documentary about Andy Goldsworthy. Seeing that in the theater when it came out was a cathartic experience for me. I love his work. Fun to see your stuff!
