Eve Armstrong
2006 New Generation Artist
Visual Artist
Eve Armstrong is an artist whose art practice involves the use of found materials and structures.
Not seeing the logic of introducing new materials to her works, Eve prefers to bring objects and ideas back into circulation. Her works are often formed through the research, collection and reconstruction of waste. In Arrangements, Eve collects objects and takes images of material refuse, organising them into sculptural stacks, piles, collages and assemblages within layered packaging tape landscapes. Another project The Trading Table, involves Eve setting up a table at various locations and facilitating the exchange of objects, skills, ideas and information with passers by. These projects are typical of Eve’s art practice and her interest in investigating systems of exchange, waste and recycling to reveal differing attitudes towards material use and value.
Born in 1978, Eve worked as Assistant Editor on the teen and children's pages for the Evening Post, Wellington, then studied textiles in Nelson. Eve went on to graduate from Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University in 2003, majoring in Sculpture.
Her first major solo exhibition ROAM took place at Artspace, Auckland, in November 2005 and more recently she has participated in SCAPE 2006 Biennial of Art in Public Space, Christchurch, the Busan Biennale 2006, Korea and Turbulence: 3rd Auckland Triennial 2007. Eve is represented by Michael Lett, Auckland.
Eve was recently selected for an Asia New Zealand Foundation artist residency in Hong Kong. She will begin her residency in April, participating in a month long series of planned workshops with three other international artists and four local counterparts.
Eve currently lives in Auckland where, as well as working on her own projects, she works as the Gallery Co-ordinator at Artstation
