Tim Roberts
The Royal College Of Art, Painting
The method is brutal. The materials are heavy, blunt and permanent: Sheet metal and concrete. On the surface are inscribed an apparent mismatch of cultural signs and signifiers. These are remnants of man’s consumerism and forms of mass communication. Their original meaning is defaced and re-inscribed with primal codes and emblems. Like the statues of Easter Island, these structures and the transient human ideas inscribed onto them, have outlived their creators. Left behind are the cracks and marks of a futile struggle for power and survival.
There is some ambiguity as to whether these are found or made ready objects. This is underscored through the apparent dualism of and a play between the domestic and the industrial; between order and violent collapse. There is no message with a moral undertone here-only the wreckage left in the wake of a collapse of all that.
