Who is Angela Conner?

Angela Conner FRBS is a English sculptor who works in London. Conner has exhibited internationally and has large scale sculptures in public and private collections around the world. In her early life as a sculptor, Conner assisted Barbara Hepworth.

Angela Conner's kinetic sculptures are concerned with utilizing "natural elements like water, sun, gravity or wind to create mobiles that entice viewers to stop and watch their gentle movement". The movement of Conner’s sculptures entirely depend on the natural forces they react with and not electricity. “If mankind were suddenly to die out, and if as a result there were no artificial power, the sculpture would still continue its pattern of opening and revealing, then closing and embracing” -Rob Cassy garden designer describing 'Revelation'; declared one of England's best water features by Country Life magazine.

In her long career Conner has created many notable large scale kinetic sculptures which are entirely powered by natural forces. Conner's 129 ft water and wind sculpture 'Wave' at Park West Dublin is possibly the tallest kinetic water and wind sculpture in Europe.
