SICKROOM

Gallery view of Sickroom installation featuring a large text based sculpture in the foreground with repeating stacked words DIAGNOSIS forming a screen like structure. In the background is an octagonal bandstand like structure made of wood and handing aluminum pipes.

SICKROOM (2022) is a sculptural and sonic installation where medical and real estate lexicons take shape as cast iron text fragments and droning feedback systems.

A sound and sculpture-based installation bringing together ideas about healing and protection, property and bodily autonomy, care and control . . . Drawing on personal experiences of navigating and accessing support as a person with chronic illness, Roberts’ installation reveals the magical thinking that reinforces the permeable, indistinct, and ultimately temporary boundaries between chaos and order, between sickness and health, and between what is yours, what is mine, what is shared, and what can never be owned."
