In her early life as a sculptor, Conner assisted Barbara Hepworth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Angela Conner Authorised Biography - Debrett's People of Today )〕 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".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Angela Conner Sculptor )〕 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.〔http://www.countrylife.co.uk/article/78233/Go-With-the-Flow.html〕 In her long career Conner has created many notable large scale kinetic sculptures which are entirely powered by natural forces.
