■ "Shelter Island" by Roe Ethridge

A collection of works by American artist Roe Ethridge. This book features photographs taken during a summer the artist spent with her family on Long Island, New York.

In a house they rented for their stay, they find various objects left in the garage or discarded by other families. Faded objects such as plastic bats, dusty Coke bottles, and shriveled kites evoke childhood summers and become motifs evoking the atmosphere of old America.
