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.
