Sasha Constable was born in 1970 in to an artistic family with a long line of 'Constable' artists dating back to her famous ancestor, the quintessential British landscape painter, John Constable (1776-1837).
In 1992 she completed a Sculpture BA Hons degree at Wimbledon School of Art in London where she specialised in stone carving. Her work is predominantly figurative, often melding fragments of bodies with simple architectural features.
Sasha lived and worked in Cambodia between 2000-2018. Initially invited as artist in residence for the World Monuments Fund she then moved back into education, setting up numerous projects and workshops for university students and disadvantaged children amongst others.
She was an active participator in the developing contemporary art scene in Cambodia where she curated many high profile exhibitions that consequently launched the careers of a number of contemporary Cambodian artists.
Constable was also very involved in the 'Peace Art' movement and coordinated two large-scale peace art projects in 2003-2004 and 2007; these projects transformed destroyed weapons of war into sculptural expressions of peace. Three monuments can be seen sited in public parks in Phnom Penh, Battambang and Kompong Thom and her monument dedicated to Deminers is situated in the HALO Trust compound in Siem Reap.
Moving back to the UK in 2018 Constable is now working full-time on her own work. Her new series of sculptures are inspired by different themes and use a variety of stone including British limestone, Soapstone and Alabaster.
