Henrietta Armstrong

Henrietta Armstrong is a London based multimedia artist and sculptor, whose practice explores relics, ritual and the apotropaic power of objects. Working across sculpture, installation and public art, she engages with devotional forms, personal talismans and systems of belief embedded in everyday material culture.
Her work draws on religious iconography, obsolete technologies and constructed infrastructures to examine how meaning is assigned to objects over time. Recurring themes include protection, inheritance and the tension between the sacred and the forbidden.
Through repetition, material transformation and scale, Armstrong’s sculptures become acts of ritual in themselves, holding space for reflection on faith, power and the emotional life of objects.

Henrietta Armstrong MRSS (b. 1981, Devon), studied BA Fine Art (Hons) at Sir John Cass School of Art, Londo

I am so excited to invite you to my first major group exhibition in NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭
A multi-disciplinary Visual Art exhibition at
Westbeth Gallery @westbethgallery,
55 Bethune St, New York, NY 10014

Opening 4 September 6-8 pm
4-27 September 2025, Wed-Sun 1-6pm

@markfb_studio @jodigerbi @oliviagossettcooper @kirsty_harris_art @jess_parnell_arty @perditasinclair

Bringing together UK and US artists at this time of global unrest and uncertainty.
i Manifest interrogates the concept of manifestation on many levels, focusing on multiple dualities which exist on a continuum of nothing-to-something; real-to-fake; physical-to-AI; sub-conscious-to-conscious; sticky floor-to-glass ceiling. To reflect this blurring of perceptions & boundaries, many of the works contain dream-like qualities reminiscent of a kind of ‘new surrealism’.
This exhibition plays with the ‘existential’ hanging in the air. One American writer of Mark Fraser-Betts’ acquaintance asserted that the universe is currently undergoing a cosmic cycle that is beyond our comprehension. So, in reflecting the incomprehensible, what collective identity can the artists in this show share?
Despite, or maybe because of the challenges of this shifting landscape, all of the artists in this show strive to maintain the authenticity of their artistic endeavours while remaining playful and inquisitive.

***I would really appreciate you inviting your artists, friends and family who live in NY, so please be generous and share far and wide! I will be in NY for the opening and would love to meet them❤️***

Thank you to Mark and Perdita for all their work organising this exhibition. I can’t wait to meet the amazing artists and see their work.

“Recognizing the sublime underpinning within her practice, Harris embraces the paradox at its centre-tender, seductive paintings that depict events which have horrific implications for the natural world, including humankind.”
