Gates to Nowhere, 2022 Unfired porcelain, fiber, fishing line
Courtesy of the artist
Robert's monumental gates, suspended from above and built drip by drip from delicate, thread-like units of unfired clay, look like an exalted spiritual entryway. But is it a passage beckoning into a secret garden? Or is it a barrier, a gated community? The ephemeral nature of Roberts' raw clay underscores ever-shifting lines of exclusion, the fleeting nature of our own lives, and the built environments we create. Like a mandala, the gates will be destroyed after the exhibition. |
