Benjamin Armstrong: Traverse

Holding in careful balance an array of figurative and abstract components crafted from diverse materials, Benjamin Armstrong's new group of sculptures gives symbolic and metaphorical expression to traversing – that is, moving across or through – a place, the mind or an idea.

The six sculptures are the happy result of Armstrong’s return to the medium following an extended period spent focused on painting and printmaking – and building construction.

Appropriate, then, that in pivoting back to three dimensions, Armstrong has selected materials that would be right at home on a building site: steel, wood, plaster and glass.
