Description: This work, subtly homoerotic, draws from themes of the past rather than the present, resulting in an overall quality that is unbounded by the constraints of time. The title, The Silver Cord, is a reference to the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes which discusses the end of time as we know it. Armstrong's photographs distil time leaving no before or after; the result is an ode to beauty.
