Big Mama

In her massive, almost ubiquitous Bahamian form, her gentle yet commanding sway and with a face whose mouth appears to be in the middle of a good suck teeth, Roberts manages what can only be described as a loving touch, as the rippled imperfection, or character of the wood is transformed into the lip of a garment. 

The choices the artist makes in his process results in a covering for Big Mama while at the same time becoming a form itself, an artifact of the artistic will and experience.
