Description

Trio consists of three abstract, mixed metal sculptures inspired by the work of choreographer Anna Halprin and architect Lawrence Halprin.[1] The pieces range in height from 9–12 feet and 2–5 feet in width. Conner has said of the series:

In designing sculptures for this space, I considered the Halprins' radical advocacy for a wide range of participation in spaces that are truly public. My artwork for this space is a respectful reference to the ephemeral nature of traveling from one place to another, with a glimpse of movement, light and shadow, out of the corner of the eye.[1]
