Armstrong's exhibition, her first in New York since 2001, will include eight paintings completed in 2006 and 2007, including two large triptychs measuring five by twelve feet (152.4 x 365.7 cm) and one triptych measuring four by twelve feet (121.9 x 365.7 cm). Joining these are canvases such as Orchids over Animal Isles, 2007, measuring 60 x 48 inches (152.4 x 121.9 cm) and 'Tween Heaven and the Deep Blue Sea, 2007, measuring 36 x 32 inches (91.4 x 81.3 cm), which depicts a young girl from behind gazing at a dazzling blue ocean criss-crossed by gigantic, exotic flora with stems "painted" in the residue of burnt bomb fuse. Clearly present in both of these painting are numerous mammals, which Armstrong has introduced in this show for the first time in great number and to great effect.
