Joel Armstrong
USA (United States)
Kunstart: Skulptur
Technik: Raum-Installation
Stil: Minimal / Konzeptkunst
Statement:
As an installation artist, I want the viewers to participate in the experience, let it become their own story, own experience to remember. Working with wire helps me lose a bit of control, because the wire will only do certain things, you can't force it. Most of all, I hope that those that venture into one of my installations to come away feeling that they have experienced something different, something "spiritual". . .
Vita / Lebenslauf:
Artist Joel Armstrong was raised in Corpus Christi, TX, where he grew to love fishing, salt air, humidity and rust.

While art director of Group, a magazine for youth ministers, at the age of 39, Joel returned to College to receive his MFA in drawing from Colorado State University (2001). At CSU, Joel began to work in wire, and then became interested in Installation art. He has continued to do wire installation for almost 10 years after graduation. He uses baler wire, and has been rusting the wire since he first began bending and twisting the medium.
