Her uncle once carpeted a bathroom in Bryncrug in the pink. She had lain down like Rockefeller and sausages, lolling on her back – like a fibrous fido on flamingo. The deep pile was from ‘carpet warehouse’ up North Paid for in cash earned with solid hands and made up impurely of spun yarns and microbial tar. CLOD DI is a new immersive installation and related text by Welsh Artist Sarah Roberts. ‘Cloddi’ draws inspiration from the artist’s experience the ‘real rooms’ interior design revolution in the 90’s, her intense shopping habits, excessive material practice, loss, her twisted mother tongue and an increasing awareness of sinkholes.

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.
