THE ARTIST AND THEIR ART

POISE IS A SCULPTURE BY ANGELA CONNER

I never got around to revisiting Park West Business Par

Evoking a sense of tranquility, 'Poise' is a captivating kinetic sculpture by renowned British artist Angela Conner. Known for her dynamic works that interact with natural elements, Conner has graced public spaces worldwide with her innovative creations. Here, in Park West Business Park, Dublin, 'Poise' features a large white circle, reminiscent of a celestial disc, that gently rotates in the wind. This movement casts ever-shifting shadows on the contrasting Yin and Yang form below, creating a mesmerising interplay of light and dark. Conner, a graduate of the Royal Academy Schools, has been pushing the boundaries of sculpture since the 1960s, with her works often exploring themes of balance, harmony, and the natural world.
