Jo Roberts

Long Profile, 2007

Ink on paper

440mm x 600mm

Red ink drawing in the form of a diagram which symbolizes the artist's life as a river. It is based on geographical schematic representations of rivers.

Jo elaborates on her artistic practice saying, 'I am a Commentariographer - a word last used in 1576. Someone who writes, mediates, ponders, portrays or records. One who comments on current events and produces an expository treatise. I am interested in the minutiae of everyday life and highlighting the specific. I am curious and inquisitive about people, places, things and their interaction with one another. I believe in the artist as a catalyst; an agent for change, often in a subtle way. I journey, investigating and recording the things I discover. I am endlessly fascinated by my life journey. I use whatever media is appropriate to describe my findings.'
