Products From Meditation
1994, San Francisco yellow pages A-L
& epoxy, 18” x 18” x 12”
To fully appreciate the value of “Products From Meditation” you must understand the work process that went into their making .  Roberts has taken the phonebook and turned a heavy piece of confusion into a means of meditation.  In his process of creating this piece, Roberts would fold single pages of the phonebook for hours at a time.  The repeated movement allowed him to achieve a meditative state and focus on his inner being.  The phonebook, usually a tool for distraction from one’s self is now a tool for self-awareness and discovery.  Roberts has altered an everyday object and made it a beautiful piece of artwork capable of awakening our conscious to the equation that is constantly in front of us, ourselves.
