The Other Art Fair, London. 2024
I am proud to have been selected for my second The Other Art Fair, at the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London.
A big thank you to my wife Sophie and my good friends Oliver and Teelo @Frameperfect for all their help and support during the fair, plus all my friends and visitors who took time to talk and buy a piece of my art.
Finally ‘thanks’ to The Other Art Fair who used my screen print ‘Spacemen on Gold’ to promote the fair on their website.

The ‘Dead Memories’ project portrays how artists use art to cope with loss and death.
Invited to take part in the project as both a subject and contributor Armstrong shared two days with Amber talking about life, art and his experiences surrounding grief after the loss of his parents. First starting in Chiswick where he grew up, then at his studio in south London. Ambers photography documented these meetings which will form part of her book on grief accompanied by a piece of his art.

Amber say’s all our stories are different, our ways of remembering people and times gone by. What we keep or hold sacred. Are they objects or spaces? She believes we all leave behind icons of who we are - found objects and documents left by those lost become more sacred than anything else. Passport photos, food recipes, random objects kept on their bedside tables, to-do lists, old voicemails and music collections all reverberate and keep an essence of them alive.
