Artistic Statement
Working in sculpture, Dai Roberts seeks to find the point just before abstraction takes on a recognisable form, making a detour before identification can take place. He is interested in the ways in which the form of objects can pause before the application of concrete language and signification takes place. In this process of slippage meaning is created through in its own avoidance. Roberts creates constellations of objects that sit together in a precarious balance in order to highlight the absurdity and instability of understanding and communication. Lisa Le Feuvre, 2005
