Thirty Pieces of Silver by Cornelia Parker is on display at York St. Mary's. The piece has been loaned from the Tate as part of a year long celebration of the visual arts in Yorkshire.
The work includes plates, spoons, candlesticks, trophies, teapots and trombones, which Parker collected and then squashed with a steamroller. The resulting thirty silver discs are suspended from the roof of the church on fine wires.
The exhibition can be seen at York St Mary's until 30 October.
