"It’s more about harmony and disharmony than making meaning or illustrating a thesis. It’s synesthesia. It’s a feeling. It’s a sound. It’s a vibration." —Roe Ethridge Happy birthday to Roe Ethridge (@roeethridge), who was born on this day, August 7, in Miami! In his photographs, Ethridge uses the real to suggest—or disrupt—the ideal. Through commercial images of fashion models, products, and advertisements, as well as intimate moments from his own daily life, he reveals the fine line between the generic and the personal, and merges art-historical genres such as the still life or portrait with the increasingly pervasive image culture of the present.
