Lucy Roberts’ practice attempts to navigate the fine line between imagination and reality. By weaving connections through the past, present, and future, she unpacks the interdependency between life and expense. Through uncanny reimagining's of our prospective world, she aims to push boundaries and rethink our approaches to societal and environmental norms.

​

By using satire as a doorway to question contemporary policy, overconsumption, and value Roberts highlights the absurd dystopian traces which are intertwined in our everyday landscapes, and evokes reflection on the fragility of our mortality.

 

​With a focus on peeling back the layers surrounding the controversial geological Anthropocene and its validity as an epoch, Roberts proposes to authenticate and disregard various ideas on our expectations. Exploring the absence of physicality through language, and digital media, she produces a complex narrative around chronology and dissects our loose grasp on reality.
