Artist Statement:
"Although inspired by aquatic
and botanical forms, for
Roberts, process is paramount.
His process of manipulating
metal into plasticity mimics
the growth and movement of the
natural world with a substance
that is anything but fluid.
Heated metal or cold forging
stretches the material,
allowing it to grow
organically. The development
of a work is evident within
itself. The ripples within
reveal their process of
stretching and expanding- like
the rings of a tree or the
belly of a mother. The final
compositions themselves flow,
resembling ribbons in the
breeze whirling in and out,
and back around again. The
skill of any artist is to
create something that does not
appear to be the sum of it's
parts. Roberts' proficiency as
a metal smith reveals organic
forms that can hardly be
fathomed to materialize from
metal". ~ Dr. Leslie Hammond
Director of Curatorial
Affairs, Appleton Museum of
Art.
