Ar Lân [beside] 2014 is an abstract ensemble in plaster, glitter, glass and vinyl, inspired by Borth, a North Wales hinterland of pastel beached bungalows and terraces that offers an immense visibility in its collision of form and colour. From formally visible sites like Borth, I develop a palette to make from[inspiration] and with [material]- façades are peeled off, collected, reverberated into form, poured into and smoothed over alternative surfaces. This work focuses on mutual collisions, a being-next-to that offers change- altered viewpoints and conversations in space, form and colour. Transparent matter, printed skins and dense segments uprooted combine to question notions of surface and depth, skins and insides. Existing somewhere between its origin, the studio, and the gallery space, Ar Lân is rooted in the actuality of matter, offering a reflexive standpoint for viewers to encounter the thingness of objects and the power of visually driven connections. AR LAN [beside] is on show as part of the 2014 Exposure Award @ Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art 14 Wharf Road / London / N1 7RW 11/10/2014 -09/11/2014

Sarah Roberts is interested in our capacity for momentary encounters with the actuality of the world – primarily with visible surfaces of architecture, landscape and body. Moments in which peripheral surfaces are seen as collisions in form and colour, reverberated into ‘matter’ that invites us to re- encounter the thingness of objects and the power of visually driven connections. Roberts creates collages, drawings, sculpture and text works, alongside an immersive installation practice using sculpture, large format print, found objects, textiles, sound, moving image, fragrance and whatever else is drawn into her material conversation with the tactility of her place of provenance as she researches, meticulously collecting the scent, the sensation and the hue of a suburban concrete driveway, a casino carpet or a cliff edge. She describes her process as a remaking of the palettes of these collected places she deems materially seductive, making non-representational representations through a process of labour and experimentation in the studio. The final works seem to encompass the original site, the artist’s studio and the final site of exhibition, aiming to create new site specific yet displaced material heterotopias for the viewer to encounter in the flesh whilst being firmly rooted in the real. Sarah Roberts lives and works in Leeds and Wales.
