In an essay for Roe Ethridge's American Polychronic, psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster writes: "Roe Ethridge is a hysteric. Even worse, he's a male hysteric. Nail in the coffin, he's an American male hysteric. I could add artist. But I won't." The reason Webster "won't" might be because he is not only an artist. After graduating from the Atlanta College of Art in 1995, Ethridge moved to New York, where he began working as a commercial fashion photographer while also producing art photographs; this placed him at the intersection of the commercial fashion industry and seemingly less commercial art world.
American Polychronic documents both types of Ethridge's output by interweaving his creative work with commercial jobs over the course of the book. He describes the book's form as a fugue, a musical composition wherein a short melody is introduced by one part, then taken up and contrapun-tally developed by other voices in a continuous weaving.
"A sequence has to sing. It's not just something to decode and find the true meaning of. I have to feel its harmonies and disharmonies."
