Notes

Beth Armstrong graduated with a MFA from Rhodes University in 2010 after which she held solo shows and took part in numerous group exhibitions.
Armstrong’s work offers a multifaceted intellectual examination of human psychology through line and space. She finds personal delight in the great variety of tree-personalities that are created from the same set of instructions. Her first tree started as a demonstration of how big and complex they can become. She is now quite specific about the relation between the tree/s and welded base, specific about the conversation between the different forms. Underpinning much of her work, in either obvious or subtle ways, is her fascination with fractal systems. “Trees are fractals. Trees are universal communicators. They are accessible. They communicate. They draw you in.”
In 2013 Armstrong completed a residency at NIROX Foundation which stimulated and facilitated, through the patronage of interested parties, the production of her first large-scale sculpture: surface weight. Also in 2013 she completed a large sculptural commission for the Kern Kunst Westvoorne Foundation, to be installed in the Netherlands and a work for the Southern Guild 2013 Collection.
