Suspended on a backdrop of black lacquer, a procession of fractured discs and fanned segments moves across the panel in a slow, continuous wave. Each segment carries the momentum of the last, a ripple passing through the body without end. Rendered in silvery rose and purple tones, their finely striated surfaces catch light like pleated silk. The Caterpillar is a study in forward motion: a creature that knows no other direction, its whole being given over to a single rhythm of gathering and release. It suggests a way of moving through the world that is patient, persistent, and entirely committed to what lies ahead. Framed in an oval of Smoked Walnut, the work has the presence of an object glimpsed through a lens.

Roeper creates an imaginary world of landscapes and imagery which invite the viewer into a state of quiet contemplation. The luxurious textures and the soft, abstract shapes evoke a sense of shelter and belonging- places where we can hide from the external world, or even get lost in. Roeper has been building bespoke furniture for clients such as Dior and Louis Vuitton for over two decades- his expertise in the handmade is is evident in the masterfully-crafted layers and exquisite finishes, which illustrate his approach to art not as a flat surface, but as a sculptural, immersive presence.
