Hidden Traces: An exhibition by John James Addison Sunderland born John James Addison is a photographic artist who depicts British culture and heritage from historical sites. In his latest work, ‘Hidden Traces’, he is drawn to the notion of absence. Hidden Traces, explores the allotment and its connection to human traces left behind. Addison creates urban landscapes images and takes the audience into the allotment by concentrating on the closer details of his subject. Allotments are familiar urban landscape to use and make highly engaging subjects. The artist removes found objects which reveal human traces and allow us to explore, make connections with, and embrace our British culture. Comparisons may be made with that of an archeological dig and the artifacts we discover and use to form narratives of our past culture.
