Shelter Island is a collection of works by American photographer Roe Etheridge. Born in Florida in 1969, Etheridge has worked in a wide range of fields, from fashion magazines to museum exhibitions, and is known for his style, which effortlessly shifts between the materiality of advertising photography and the experimentalism of art photography. He is highly acclaimed for his unique perspective on mundane, everyday, and commercial images, eliciting their underlying humor and incongruity. Set against the backdrop of his summer home on Long Island, New York, this book features 15 color works that quietly capture forgotten objects—old Coke bottles, plastic baseball bats, faded kites—left in the garage. The traces of time, etched by dust and scratches, transcend mere snapshots and evoke nostalgia for American suburbia and memories of family. The light colors and atmospheric compositions, combined with Etheridge's signature sense of intimacy and distance, transport the viewer to a bygone summer afternoon.
