'Everything’s Mustard' is an installation - a vista of yellows painstakingly made and collected by artist Sarah Roberts whilst appearing perhaps arbitrary and mass amassed. Inspired by her experience of an epic clearing out her late Mother’s seaside bungalow in mid Wales after her death, this laboured construction deals with loss, hoarding, and discovery through an aesthetic examination of our human commitment to collection and consuming. We become our own architects and archivists, filling every hole with stuff and relative newness. There is a joy in the momentary nature of new, and an immense sadness in the deterioration of an unused hand towel or a yellowing still boxed soap. This work is a brief glimpse at excess, and loss. The vitrine will become a time capsule of matter, the things are solidified, archived, but in their homogenous ‘yellow’ they will evoke this sense of something new, unplaced, untethered. In essence this piece is an examination of the seduction and bizarre futility of collecting from an artist who is the daughter of a hoarder and a self-proclaimed material junkie in the age of the Anthropocene.

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.
