Henrietta Armstrong

Henrietta Armstrong is a multimedia artist and curator based in London. Her practice looks at prehistoric art forms and how they have evolved independently from each other yet their similarities link to the very thing that makes us human. Considering the messages that are left behind by our ancestors via objects and remnants of their lives, she looks at defunct technologies and structures and how these will be deciphered by future descendants. Whilst fabricating archaeological artefacts and relics, she looks at the ceremonial practices that could be applied to them, considering rituals from the past and future.

She is currently working on a public art commission for the village of Tytherington commissioned by Cotswold Homes & South Gloucestershire Council, to create a permanent sculpture celebrating Tytherington’s history as well as integrating the growing community. 

Henrietta Armstrong (b. 1981, Devon), studied BA Fine Art (Hons) at Sir John Cass School of Art, London, graduating in 2003. Recent exhibitions include Recreational Grounds VI held at The Aylesbury Estate and WIMMIN II, Part of Art Licks Weekend 2019. She has exhibited extensively across London and the U.K.
