Inspired by the hyperreality and material reality of a Reno casino, this installation is part of a series examining hyper saturated constructed 'leisure pleasure' spaces. Shown installed at Laure Genillard Gallery, London. 2017 Walking into the lobby of a Reno-Casino-Spa-Hotel, air conditioning hits her chops from the left with a cool rasp. She saw her legs dangling over the porcelain and under skirts. Props. A potted palm flicked its hair as she leant an armful of sweat on the marble(d) reception desk. Through the window to the courtyard she glimpsed the swimming pool blue, Universal refreshment, globally provided. GULP. Poolside, A fat man belched out his belly before a breaststroke, Cutting through the water like a wet Pana-Cotta on the glide. Low rollers off the clock were smoothed over sun loungers like pallid gravy skins, Baked Breast and legs. Later, she sipped a cocktail called a last word that tastes of the swill at the dentist, A mouth full of teeth and tequila. An overhanging plastic turtle gave her a sense of the beady eye, Popping a prawn she felt pink as it slipped uneasily down her gullet, throttled through. She washed it down with mountain water in a slippery glass. The pool was (in) the middle still. Wrapped, clad in the casino, like a center spread in a glossy brag signed by the `Times. Sealed in, made 3D, Flattened and formed into fifty shades of still true blues. see https://www.sarahrobertsfa.com/partialplasticoasis for more info and to hear sound piece

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.
