The Origins series is an autobiographical exploration of Armstrong’s family history written through archetypes and family photographs. As one of Armstrong’s earliest series of works, it begins to scratch at concepts that later become primary themes, such as the contrast between personal engagement with the Sublime and socially developed belief systems.
This series includes myriad symbols such as the mother, the child, spheres, breath, consumption, construction, and decay. These symbols were developed independently of one another and combined in an effort to replicate the unpredictability in which they interact in day-to-day life, in each instance producing a different result based on their combination. All works in this series are 1/1.
