Armstrong currently lives and works in Johannesburg.
Recent developments
Armstrong was selected to create sculptures for a major 2011 campaign by investment management firm Prescient.[3]
Armstrong was one of 33 artists selected for Worldforall's 'Not All is Black and White: Wisdom from the African Zebra' campaign, which ran concurrently to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[4]
Reception
Grace O’Malley noted in a review for Artthrob, that Armstrong’s work “offered a multifaceted intellectual examination of human psychology through line and space”.[5] Ashraf Jamal, in a piece on Armstrong for Art South Africa’s “Bright Young Things”, states that “Armstrong’s warping of the sculpture paradigm makes way for new applications and new figurations in a genre caught in the tedious warp of thingness”; later stating that Armstrong introduces not only a new philosophy of making and meaning, but its solution”.[6]
