Yael Roberts makes large-scale expanded prints informed by drawing, collage and painting practices. These immersive works sit alongside smaller sculptures. She marks time spent in real or mythic places: days, months, or seasons spent at studio, on residency, at home, on land. Her practice evolves based on new experiences of time and place, and new bodies of work take shape through her experiences of travel and migration. She creates spaces that complicate our sense of seeing and belonging in relationship to the places we find ourselves. The work explores trace, trauma, mark-making, and the impact of our bodies on each other and on (the) earth, and invites a push and pull, asking the viewer to immerse in it and then withdraw.
Printing from found glass and wood, she carves into the surfaces of found objects, drawing from memory, dream, and reality, to prepare them for printing or assemblage. All of the prints are created simply by drawing on the back of the paper, both with her body and with writing implements and objects. The "prints" are in fact "body-printed", recordings of drawings, of body, and of her experience in studio.
Large-scale, immersive installation and the work of the Impressionists have heavily influenced her, specifically the use of perspective. Drawing has been part of her daily practice since she was 5, and is how she perceives and interprets her inner landscape. Her experience of land and land ownership is another direct influence. She was born and raised on Osage land. Her maternal grandparents were forcibly displaced or murdered in the 1940s following over 400 years living in Germany. Her work is influenced by an experience of landscape not as home but as catalyst, and relating to land as both coloniser and colonised, owner and visitor.
Recent residencies include CAST Cornwall (Helston, UK), Casa Ceniza (Mexico), and Oficina Bartolomeu dos Santos (Portugal). She led on organising Cubitt 30 at Victoria Miro in which she also exhibited.
