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”. 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”.
