- Description: ‘in perpetuum,’ Beth Diane Armstrong’s Young Artist Award exhibition at the National Arts Festival, draws lines of growth, visually exploring life’s continuum. At first glance the exhibition evokes a geometric organism, with lines of growth, of stagnation or of regression.

We are not looking at a final concept but a work in progress, a process of back and forth, of distance and proximity, of minimalism and monumentalism, pushing of physical and mental boundaries.
