Steve Parker is a sculptor and public artist whose installations and public artworks make hidden systems audible. Working with salvaged instruments, obsolete technologies, and ecological materials, he builds sculptural environments that translate forces such as land subsidence, surveillance, and ecological loss into collective acts of listening. His work treats sculpture as a sensing apparatus and public ritual as a form of research. Parker is the 2025 Texas State Artist for Sculpture and a recipient of the Creative Capital Award, the Rome Prize, and Fulbright Fellowships.
