Fiona Connor was born in 1981 in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. She lives in Los Angeles.
Working across sculpture, installation, and printed matter, her practice examines the material and social frameworks that structure public space. Connor is known for producing meticulous, full-scale replicas of architectural elements and everyday structures, which she subtly alters or repositions within exhibition contexts. For several years, she has focused on community bulletin boards, recreating them with exacting precision—including their accumulated layers of posters, announcements, and traces of use—and relocating them into exhibition spaces. In her work Continuous sidewalk (2021-2023), she casts or reconstructs sections of Los Angeles pavement—complete with cracks, stains, and embedded markings—transposing these fragments indoors and, at times, extending them into printed forms. By engaging with familiar yet often overlooked elements of the built environment, Connor reflects on systems of visibility, circulation, and use, inviting a heightened awareness of the infrastructures that quietly shape our experience of everyday space.
Her work is represented by Coastal Signs (Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland), Maureen Paley (London), Chateau Shatto (Los Angeles), and Fine Arts, Sydney (Sydney).
