In Torremolinos-Tableaux-Tongue-Twister (After Sun), the surface of the popular tourist destination Torremolinos has been transformed into a fleshy, flashing place of red limbs in lycra suits, slipping and sliding out of swimming pools and dripping down rendered walls. Provenance of place is not hidden, but also not overtly explained as at the work goes way beyond representation. (After Sun) is the second stanza from Torremolinos. First exhibited in 2016 as part of the BAS8 Associates programme at HaHa Gallery, Southampton, the same work has been re-cast for Block 336 in a blood-shot, late-night form in this first solo presentation of work. On entering the gallery, the viewer is invited to investigate an environment of red excess. Two tons of ruddy gravel spilled like a flailing fat tongue stretches out through the space. Hand-cast plaster pieces, found objects, glass, rubber and glitter are nonsensical material utterances, and large-format images of everyday surfaces have been smoothed over the existing gallery walls and floors. In creating these landscapes, vistas or reflexive objects, Roberts wants us to consider the reality of our constructed surfaces and how they inform the narratives we create. She terms this approach, ‘a casual politic’ that instead of ‘shouting the odds’ – creates a vantage point from which to gaze out onto the terror and appetite of our newly made realities. for text and more info see https://www.sarahrobertsfa.com/ttttas

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.
