A collaboration with New York artist Kate Huh and the West End Artist archive at the Leslie/Lohman Museum of Art, West End Neverending was a commission for the exhibition Cock, Paper, Scissors at the ONE Archive at The University of Southern California. Huh constructed the collages sourcing materials from the West End Archive and the New York Public Library Pictures Collection. Roberts then embroidered the collages to make a series of scrolls mirroring the scrolls included in the West End Archive. The collaboration is on-going and will result in a multitude of scrolls that remix queer erotics, the formation of language, the kinship of gay men, lesbians, and trans people, surveillance, control, and art history.
