IN THE WATER IN A BAY by Caitlin Merrett King and David Roeder
121 x 202mm, 28 pages, Colour printing, Saddle stitched, Risograph printed card covers, 2025
In this exhibition, David Roeder and Caitlin Merrett King present a suite of paintings and texts respectively. The works are the result of a collaborative process of engagement by two friends. The texts have been informed by the paintings, and the paintings, in turn, by the texts. They are a conversation, born as much from years of friendship as from the somewhat artificial boundaries of a gallery exhibition and as such are threads of a much wider conversation and relationship, impossible to unpick - even to the artists themselves. Instead, as viewers, we are simply presented with the works in front of us (which is plenty enough as it is), wondering about what we don’t know and, as advised by Roeder, "…you might as well try not to think too much and just enjoy what you see and read”.
